| This workshop went down a storm, which is what sailors hoped wouldn't happen if they had a trusty cat on board. Lucky seafaring mascots of old, these adaptable, canny creatures would make it their business to hunt down rats, saving ropes, wood, sailors food supplies and cargo from getting thoroughly gnawed. A reminder from domestic life ashore, cats would be respected company for the crew. With acute senses, cats would act edgy in low weather pressure and sailors who perceived a change in the cat's behaviour would know there was a storm a brewin'. We paid homage to them here by (Posca Pen) painting their bright, furry faces on rocks and giving them googly, 'glow in the dark' eyes! Just some of the many makers and takers for today's fun event in 'The Endeavour Room'... |   |
