Textile Tasters
At the last WSD Guild meeting there was an opportunity for members to have a go at a variety of textile crafts which were demonstrated by other guild members. Rachel had a hackle and diss and huge variety of coloured tops to demonstrate colour blending. Jane had a couple of inkle looms ready warped and Janet had a rigid heddle loom ready for warping . Sarah was using a soldering iron and organza and beads to make some very pretty flowers. Kate demonstrated hooking and rag rug making with yarns, fabric scraps and hessian. Members were encouraged to try out the various crafts which made for a very pleasant and easy going day - once we got into the building that was!
