AN EXPERIENCED rug maker is bringing a colourful display of his work to the walls of the Darfield museum this month.
Barry Jowitt, 75, of Milford Avenue, Elsecar, has been fabricating rugs for more than 30 years.
On display are large wall hangings he has created using rug pegging and brodding techniques from a variety of materials, such as wool, cottons and silks.
