Come and join local Living History enthusiast Heather as she brings to life crafts from the Northwest's Heritage. Demonstrating the slowly vanishing skills that went into producing our clothing using natural materials. This month's session focuses on Making a Summer Hat Using Natural Materials Status: Critically Endangered Blackpool Donkeys would be nothing without the iconic straw hat. Once a bustling industry, (when no respectable person of any age headed outside without a head covering), summer boaters and fashionable fascinators were once a practical and fashionable staple accessory across the UK. What was everyday and commonplace is now becoming more difficult to source in natural materials. Traditional hat-making didn't just use straw, you could use reeds, rushes or local grasses to keep the glaring sun out of your eyes. Often seen in medieval manuscripts, it is believed this everyday item could be older and even prehistoric in origin. If you look after a hat, it can last you many years. Heather will show you how to create a new straw hat that will keep the sun out of your eyes and the wind out of your hair in the years ahead. Inspired by Heritage Crafts Red List, we’re focusing on endangered crafts.

Demonstrating the slowly vanishing skills that went into producing our clothing using natural materials. This month's session focuses on Coiled Straw Baskets (Skep making) Status: Critically Endangered Basketry can be a hard skill to master, especially if you have low mobility in your hands, however this session will provide an accessible introduction to basketry techniques for all. We’ll focus on the ancient craft of making a coiled straw basket. This is a lovely basket style that you can be confident you can keep for daily or decorative use or put to work in the garden as a skep (hive) for the bees. Coiled lipwork baskets were a traditional craft for the North West as we had plenty of grasses. A quick style that could give you a berry gathering, flower picking vessel for the forager who has just realised there is something to collect and they have left their bags at home.
