In August 2008 it was Rowan's 30th Anniversary, celebrating three decades of Rowan.
For their anniversary year they have plans for an exciting exhibition featuring garments from the past 30 years of Rowan. The exhibition launched at the North Light Gallery before setting off on its travels around the globe and will feature a selection of iconic designs from key designers who have helped create the inimitable style of Rowan.
The historical trail is a special exhibition of garments showcasing inspirational designs from the Rowan Magazine 1 to present day. In conjunction with the exhibition Rowan held a special anniversary weekend workshop at the North Light Gallery. I was unable to go to the workshop but a couple of friends went and sent me these photo's.
During the week-end they got the opportunity to have a go at all the techniques seen in iconic designs of the past, these could then be made up into either a bag or wall hanging to take home as a keepsake of the week-end. The bag design was from Sharon Brant and knitted in Rowan pure wool I believe.
A similar workshop is being held at Missenden Abbey just before Easter 2009. I may just get to see the exhibition here.
