Heritage Crafts Workshop - Textiles & Mosaics
Spend a relaxed and social evening trying out two different craft workshops, with refreshments in between. Explore both the history and practise of two craft techniques with experienced historical crafters to guide you and then have a go yourself at creating an item to take home.
In November's workshop you can explore textiles and mosaics; you'll learn about the history of mosaics with our archaeologist and mosaics crafter Jane Hill, before making your own mosaic coaster to take home. You'll also get to learn about the history of textiles with textile crafter and historical educator Katherine Bell and have a go at a choice of textile techniques including rigid heddle weaving, inkle weaving, disc braiding and lucet braiding.
Each workshop lasts 45 minutes broken by a 30 minute break for a choice of hot drink and a sweet treat.
Workshops are best suited to adults or older teenagers, but they don't require any previous experience of the craft, even complete beginners are welcome. Tickets cost £25 per attendee and include both workshops, plus materials and refreshments. They can be purchased via Ticketsource or by calling or popping in to the museum. Pre-booking is essential.
