Craft, Create & Catch-Up
Event Details
Every Friday 10 am – 1pm we run a craft group in the museum. This is a social group where volunteers can catch-up while learning about new skills and trying them out.
The group’s main focus is making costumes for our village – developing outfits based on sources to recreate the idea of general life around 700.
Each session has a topic that might be to learn a new skill, learn its history or try a new technique. However, you can always carry on with other skills already learnt and our existing volunteers are happy to show you what you’ve missed.
We regularly have:
- Wool spinning
- Heddleboard weaving (a simpler version of tablet weaving)
- Lucet chord making
Coming soon this group will also include leatherwork and calligraphy.
*** Free Tea, Coffee and biscuits!***
