Description

Charles Witherspoon visits Mrs Annie Ward at Carrickawick in Fermanagh to learn about lace-making. Beautiful film of Mrs Ward at her craft by an open fire but unfortunately we don’t get to hear her story. Charlie interviews John Owen Rees in Enniskillen who owns Fermanagh Cottage Industries and collects and sells the lace. He laments the lack of interest of younger folk in learning the skill.     

Notes

 Annie Ward lived in the townland of Carrickawick, in the Knocks area of Fermanagh, near Lisnaskea.

Credits

An Ulster Television Production.
