Rhonda Bracey: At Random

Our free day in Edinburgh got changed to tomorrow (for reasons), so instead we did what was scheduled for tomorrow, today. Got that? What was scheduled was a ‘creative activity’ and it certainly was. We went to Dovecot Studios where we learned to weave an art tapestry on a small loom, then as a bonus, we were given permission to watch the professional woven tapestry makers create their huge masterpieces.

They have a floor above the workers where you can see them in action. It was an amazing creative space, and the activity was fun too. Probably not something I’d do again, but I enjoyed what I did. I created a shoreline, and the final piece was about 8 x 8 cm.

This evening I helped one of our group discover information about her English grandfather that she never knew before. The power of Ancestry dot com!
