SUMMARY:Heritage Open Days
DESCRIPTION:Heritage Open Days is England’s largest festival of history and culture\, involving thousands of local volunteers and organisations. Every year for 10 days in September it brings people together to celebrate their heritage\, community and history. Stories are told\, traditions explored\, and histories brought to life. It’s offers the public a chance to see hidden places and try out new experiences – and it’s all FREE. \nFrom working lives to cherished rituals\, many events will focus in on this year’s festival theme\, ‘Everyday Histories’ presented by leading family history website Findmypast. You are invited to explore the varied and often overlooked stories of ordinary working people and their daily lives. From factory floors\, workhouses and high streets to kitchens\, schools\, and community centres\, this theme shines a light on working-class voices\, local superheroes and the part-of-the-furniture places that have quietly shaped England’s heritage. \nFind out what’s on at https://www.heritageopendays.org.uk/whats-on.html

SUMMARY:Have a Dabble Masterclass: Bags and baubles
DESCRIPTION:Step into the rich history of one of the world’s oldest writing materials! Join us for an inspiring\, hands-on workshop masterclass exploring oak gall ink. \nWe’ll begin by uncovering the fascinating story of oak gall ink. It was used for centuries in manuscripts\, art and record-keeping. You’ll learn how it is traditionally made. \nYou’ll make your own oak gall ink and explore mark-making. You’ll then use these skills to decorate a ceramic bauble. \nWe’ll then discover how to transform oak gall ink into a printing paste. We’ll create and use handmade stencils to create bold\, original designs on a reusable tote bag. \nThis workshop is a great way to treat yourself or bought as a gift for a loved one! \nTickets cost £60 including all materials\, skilled instruction and light refreshments. \nThis time slot includes a break of approximately 30 minutes for lunch.
