At Judith Hoad’s Home in South West Co. Donegal
Making buttons & toggles, Handspinning wool, Making a braid loom and much more....
This series of working weekends with Judith is organised to welcome participants on Friday evenings with a simple meal. Up to six people can be accommodated. There are two bedrooms, each with a pair of adult sized bunks and one double bed sleeping loft in the main living room. The Saturdays will be spent with Judith showing and assisting in the learning of a selection of simple skills that have fallen out of fashion during the last generation or so. The Sundays, up to 3pm, will be spent by the participants undertaking tasks around the inside and outside of Judith’s home; these may be home decorating, or hedge cutting, or firewood splitting, gardening etc. etc. Please note that this work is an obligatory part of the weekend, because it represents the payment – no money changes hands, just effort.
Judith is offering these weekends on the third weekends of each month until July, 2009. This may be extended, depending on the interest. Judith has other skills, not listed here, which may be useful.
