Activities at Winkies Castle
WINKIES CASTLE is in need of a new RAG RUG so how about popping in to help us to a create our very own work of art?
Rag rug making is a very old craft that is being reinvented and if you thought re-cycling was a recent ‘thing’ well proddy, hooky and clippy rugs were very early re-cycling so if you have an old garment that is past its ‘sell by date’ fetch it along and we can cut it up for our very own rug. Rugs would have been made by ALL the family not just Mum or Gran but DAD and the CHILDREN, both boys and girls, so everyone can come along and have a go.
12TH, 14TH and 15th August – Start making our PRODDY RUG
19th, 21st and 22nd August – PRODDY RUG making and Girl Guiding activities.
26th, 28th – 30th August – PATCHWORK demonstrations.
2nd September – Come along and see how our ‘rug’ is progressing.
As well as the above activities the Guiding Exhibition gives you the opportunity to go back down memory lane and try your hand at tying knots and ties as well as other activities.
ALL ACTIVITIES ARE SUITABLE FOR EVERYONE BUT CHILDREN MUST BE ACCOMPANIED AT ALL TIMES.
12th August 2010, Thursday morning visitors make a good start to the new “Proddy Rug”
See how the rug has progressed over the last few weeks!!
