Working Hands Craft Festival
Sat 30th April 2016
This is a celebration craft skills of all kinds. It will look at the practical, the artisan, the traditional and the artistic crafts carried out by folk on Westray. There will be an exhibition of craft works produced by local school pupils and care home residents and a display of tools and techniques, old and new. Digital crafting- Minecrafting- will be explored; there will also be a knitalong, stalls with craft items and materials for sale. Throughout the day there will be expert demonstrations (tapestry weaving, wood turning, rock carving, Viking crafts, to mention but some) along with short taster workshops for folk to try out a range of craft activities.
