  • Wheel spinning
  • Braiding
  • Tapestry weaving

 

All the pieces in the exhibition are hand-crafted. Prices will be clearly marked on any pieces that are for sale. There will be additional items for sale in an exhibition shop, including starter kits for those wishing to go further having tried out a skill in the demonstration area.

 

Stewards will be happy to answer any questions.
