Spinning wheel

I borrowed a spinning wheel from For Arts Sake to use within the display at the exhibition at the Pier Arts Centre. Was just told it was given to them on long term loan and that's all the story given. 

Well, when jenny and myself were out on the opening day giving a talk to the college students about the exhibiton a few members of the public were around too. When we were finished a woman explained that she was the owner of the spinning wheel!

Was really nice to meet Joanna, seen here pictured, and learn that the wheel does have a bit of a story. Gives more meaning to the object.
