Ashford Day 2018 with James Ashford and David Lester

FibreHut ASHFORD DAY on Wed 20th June 2018

James & David enjoyed a wonderful Ashford Day hosted by Ashford dealers Gai and Dave of FibreHut. Over 100 spinning and weaving enthusiasts come from near and far to spend the day learning about all things Ashford. There was spinning and weaving demonstrations, history talks, wheel tune ups and of course the infamous sheepy cakes!

The last time that we held an Ashford day here at FibreHut we were visited by Kate Sherratt (see how that day went! This time we are pleased to welcome the next generation from Ashford handicrafts - James Ashford and David Lester who have flown over from the Ashford factory in New Zealand. They have immersed themselves in the business having had extensive training in textile fibre arts and the manufacturing process. "We couldn't be happier to know that that the future or our family business will be in the capable hands of our sons" say Elizabeth and Richard Ashford.
