Yesterday, Saturday 9th March, Kate led a workshop in the farmyard, attended by five willing weavers, who learnt how to make a bean wigwam out of local natural materials.

Three wigwams were made in all, and they look fantastic. Many thanks to Kate for running this workshop, and to all those who attended.
