Three 'rag-rugging' workshops for beginners will be held at the

Colne Valley Museum in Golcar. The first, on December 10, will explain how

to use the prodding and hooking techniques to produce a rag rug stocking, which can then be decorated for Christmas. The workshop runs from 10am to

4pm and costs £25 per person in advance. For details phone 01484 223 830.
