Join us for a fascinating Spinning & Weaving Demonstration exploring two of the world’s oldest textile arts and the important role they’ve played across cultures and generations.Long before modern factories and clothing production, spinning and weaving were essential everyday skills used to create fabric for clothing, blankets, household goods, and trade. Spinning is the process of twisting fibres such as wool into yarn using tools like drop spindles or spinning wheels, while weaving transforms those threads into fabric on a loom through carefully interlaced patterns and techniques.
During this demonstration, participants will learn about the history, tools, and traditions behind these timeless crafts while seeing the process in action. Discover how textile arts connected communities, preserved cultural practices, and continue to inspire makers today through creativity, storytelling, and craftsmanship.
Perfect for curious learners, history lovers, artists, and anyone interested in traditional skills and handmade arts.
