Demonstrations

The John Walter Museum has numerous opportunities for members of the EWG to do demonstrations of our fibre arts skills. 

This has been one of our favourite places to do demos, and they love us.

Easter Event: Monday, April 1 from 10:30 am to 4 pm

The museum will be hosting an egg hunt, and there will be a baking demonstration in one of the houses.
