Event in Gairloch Heritage Museum

On Friday 13th of May local school children and visitors enjoyed demonstrations of traditional crafts in Gairloch Heritage Museum, like spinning and repairing fish nets. I made photos during butter making and the workshop weaving a fish with willow. Traditional creels and contemporary baskets were at display.
