Design a Pine

As part of the Heritage Open Days programme, a fully booked workshop held at the Millennium Library in September explored the Norwich Pine design, originally copied from kashmiri shawls in the nineteenth century by Norfolks' skilled weavers and developed by them on magnificent Norwich Shawls - the height of Victorian fashion.  There was a chance to lexperiment with the design and learn how to crochet, print onto fabric and embroider pine designs.  Two mother and daughter pairs joined in the fun, with a chance to see original Norwich Shawls up close for inspiration.
