More than 200 people attended Solus Geur -Luminate, a Festival of Creative Ageing event in Breasclete Hall on Wednesday 30th October. Represenatatives from ten of the islands Over 60s clubs came along, so did learners from the local Gaidhlig san Dachaigh group, and 31 pupils from Sgoil Bhreascleit. There were craft demonstrations basket making, rope knot tyeing , spinning, carding and wool dyeing. Local films featuring some of our Over 60s were screened and poetry by some of our talented creative agers, was shared. Several individuals brought their own craft i.e patchwork, Harris tweed garments,knitting. A real celebration of creativity using traditional island craft. Read the review by a Happiness participant.
