SUMMARY:Talk: Bags of Yarn
DESCRIPTION:Discover the joys of creating beautiful and practical things from recycled materials\nCambridge textile artist Jenny Langley will explore how working with recycled materials feeds her creativity and inspires her to try new and different ideas. \n“It lead me to a deep appreciation of all the good things that I have in my life\, so I’m much happier with my lot than I used to be. No more striving to get what I haven’t got\, as ”ve already got great riches. I now treat everything as precious\, and I feel that that’s a really good way to look at the world.” \nJenny will tell us the story of how she came to work with recycled materials\, her techniques and what you will need to start to creating your very own things. She will also bring some fabrics to share with those who are eager to get start immediately. \nYou can find more of Jenny’s work at Art Textiles \nWe’ll be collecting your thoughts and ideas about recycling and how to make the best of pre-own materials as part of our Capturing Cambridge project

SUMMARY:Activity: Raptor Day at the Museum
DESCRIPTION:Ever seen a peregrine falcon or a tawny owl up close? \nWell now is your chance\, because we have invited some of these magnificent birds\, along with their keepers\, to visit the Museum for the afternoon. \nRaptors are predatory birds that hunt and feed on rodents and other small animals. For centuries\, some species were used as  hunting birds because of their keen vision\, powerful talons and sharp beaks. Others were regarded as a threat or a menace. Join us as members of the Raptor Foundation talk about their birds in real life and in local folklore and find out which of the raptor family was once commonly thought to be a witch in disguise! \nWe know that this will be an eagerly anticipated event\, so we are running three 50-minute session during the afternoon\, in order to accommodate as many visitors as possible. You can reserve free places for a session below. \nPlease do not book for multiple sessions. we want as many visitors as possible to be able to take part. If you do\, we reserve the right to cancel all your bookings. \nThe Raptor Foundation is a local organisation based near Huntingdon that exists to protect\, rescue and rehabilitate hawks\, falcons\, owls and other raptors. You can experience a variety of birds up close at their sanctuary and even fly some during daily flight displays. The Foundation runs regular talks and hands-on sessions that include other residents including snakes\, reptiles and meerkats.More information is available from the Raptor Foundation website. \n\nThis activity is part of Tracing Traditions\, a project funded by the Esmée Fairbairn Collections Fund and delivered by the Museums Association

SUMMARY:Talk: Safeguards Against Witchcraft - Local Protective Practices
DESCRIPTION:Expanding the narrative of our current exhibition Safeguards Against Witchcraft\, this session will explore more stories of the protective practices used by the people of Cambridge and Cambridgeshire \nWitches\, warlocks and magic were once a part of everyday life\, provoking fear and trepidation throughout the late Medieval and Early Modern periods.  \nSo great was the perceived threat that practising witchcraft became a capital offence in Great Britain during the sixteenth century. Suspicion gripped the people of East Anglia and witch-hunts and the brutal trials of local women\, as well as their families\, became commonplace. \nAlice Samuel\, a resident of the village of Warboys\, became national news when Lady Cromwell fell ill and subsequently died after meeting her\, confirming the locals’ suspicions of witchcraft. Alice and her family were taken to trial and hanged in Huntingdon. \nWhile the violence arising from the witch mania that consumed the country is well known\, the steps taken by individuals to protect their homes\, their kin and themselves are often overlooked. There was so much that could be done to stop a witch from causing harm and all that was needed was a single\, worn shoe… \nJoin us in the Dining Parlour at our Museum on Monday 19 March to learn more \nThis talk is part of Tracing Traditions\, a project funded by the Esmée Fairbairn Collections Fund and delivered by the Museums Association
