Day Six, 21 April 2013

 Workshop day offers a chance to leave travel behind for one day and be a student. Elaine Lindsay, straw artist extrordinaire introduces the group to traditional straw work and shows them examples of her work that appears as fashion accessories during London fasion week and atop local wedding cakes.    We end the day with a house concert with music from Gaye Anthony.
