The Big Skill

This weekend, The Big Skill will be at the Globe. There will be all sorts of crafts on display, such as knitting and crochet, floral cushions, quilts, hand dyed yarn, painting and photography, "upcycled" goods, leatherwork and wood turning, as well as workshops. The workshops include glass and copper jewellery, rag rugs, recycled metal bugs (!), and willow weaving. On the Sunday there will be workshops on wooden toy making and children's screen printing, clay sculpture and gargoyle making.
There will also be blacksmithing demonstrations from Tools for Self Reliance, and encaustic art demonstrations.
Love Zimbabwe and Hay, Brecon and Talgarth Sanctuary for Refugees will also be there.

And there will be music throughout the day. Bob Evans, who is in charge of the Baskerville Hall acoustic sessions on Wednesday nights, will be performing at 11am and 2pm each day of the craft fair. He has a new album out, called About Time, and he will be performing all the songs in his morning sets. The one about the dinosaur getting worried about an asteroid is a favourite at the Baskie, but he starts with the Big Bang!
