Today TG3 had their summer trip the Helmshore Textile Museum. The students had a wonderful time getting creative making their own felting square with wool fibres and getting all covered in soap. They also got chance to walk through the ‘Devil’s Hole’, named as such for the large cotton machines with millions of spikey combs to brush the cotton. The pupils also had chance to see and feel historical objects such as old fashioned irons, rug whackers and a mincer. The day was complete with a trip to McDonalds, which the pupils had been requesting all year and all left very full indeed. It was a lovely day and the pupils all got to take their felting art home with them.
