Come along to the Spring Fair at Galgael, tomorrow Saturday, the 3rd of May 10am-4pm

Join us at our Spring fair at GalGael for a fantastic day out in a heartwarming atmosphere! Enjoy lots of craft stalls and craft activities for all ages. There will be delicious homemade food, cakes, tea and coffee served. 
You can join wool craft activities like needle felting and hand spinning. Please have a look for our hand woven rugs! We have woven a couple of beautiful rugs from sheep's wool and a rag rug from cotton off-cuts. We are happy to sell them. The proceeds from the rugs will go towards the development of Galgael's sail loft, where wool craft will have their work space at some point.
Find us here: GalGael, 15 Fairley Street, G51 2SN, Glasgow/Ibrox 
We're looking forward to a fantastic day of meeting lots of lovely people!

Hurray, the rug is finished

Colourful rug 

The 0.70m x 1.35m hand woven rug from recycled cotton strips is finished. We did cut hundreds of strips from, pillow cases, duvet covers, sheets, skirts, t-shirts, tops, hoodies and more to weave this colourful rug. Many hands from small to tall folk were having a shot at the hand loom. Most people were weaving for the very first time in their life! They all enjoyed it, some for longer and others just for a wee trial. 
We are happy to take commissions for an individualized rug! Come along to Galgael on a Thursday night from about 5.30pm and meet us wool crafters and lots more lovely folk.
