Netmaking demonstrationKing's Lynn MuseumMarket StreetKing's Lynn, PE30 1NLNet-making Demonstration by Bryan Lemmon
Net-making is an ancient craft undertaken throughout the world that is sadly being lost to mechanisation using synthetic materials which are proving harmful to wildlife and the environment.
