3rd and 4th of March 2018 we held a very successful "try-it-out" workshop. Designed for the pooling and testing of ideas.
We did a pottery pit kiln firing with an idea for future pottery workshops. We turned 'turn-shoes' right-side out and suggested fixes for badly fitting ones. There was some sewing of garments and eating of damper bread and a communal "Stone Stew".
Do you have the bells? A Morris dance workshop, with international tutors! Come to some, or come to all the sessions - whether you are a novice or an expert Morris (wo)man - we want you!
