Traditional Net-making with Daniel Rumbolt

- 12:30 pm
Where: Art Gallery Classroom
Workshop
Nets are a multi-purpose tool - objects meant to catch, to hold, to support, and to contain. Join artist Daniel Rumbolt to learn the traditional art of net making, with an unconventional twist!
During the workshop, you will learn the basics of hand-knitting a net using materials such as wool, yarn, and twine. This basic technique can be applied in many ways to create both functional tools or decorative works of art.
Cost: $40 plus HST. 10% discount for Rooms Members. Please call (709)757-8090 to book your post.

In celebration of International Women’s Day this year, The Rooms is bringing back our “Beyond the Trenches” tour on March 7th and March 8th.
Visitors will be brought through our level 2 Royal Newfoundland Regiment Gallery and learn about the contributions made by Newfoundland women at home and overseas during the First World War. Not only were these contributions vital to the war effort but became an integral part of women in Newfoundland winning the right to vote in 1925 – an event which celebrated its 100th anniversary in April of 2025. Join us and hear about their stories, experiences, and the various roles they played as the war carried out from 1914 to 1918.
