Rag Weaving

At Pogue's Entry this weekend ( 13/14th September 2014) I was given the opportunity to run a walk in; weaving workshop. With the help of somewhere to_ and the European Open heritage days, I was given the  Opportunity to run the work shop in the history museum's workshop space for the weekend. What a lovely lot of people I met!
Many just wanted to see what I was doing , others asked questions and began to talk about their mothers , people they knew, rag rugs, exhibitions, patch works and button shops!
 I had a nice amount of individuals who got stuck in to making; pencil cases, coasters and head bands.
What great conversation comes out of such a simple thing. 
So many new people, ideas and inspiration!
Heres a few of my makers from the Sunday...
 I'm just sorry I couldn't get all of the weaving on camera!
