Join us for the first of many Vintage Craft Classes this Winter and Spring at Craigdarroch Castle. On January 7th, Grace Morrison will lead “The Lost Arts of Darning and Mending.”

Class Description:   Have you ever felt like throwing out those socks with a hole in the heel is a waste? Ever wish you had a personal seamstress on hand to replace lost buttons or stitch pockets back on to your favourite shirts?
