Gill Britten will be running 'pop-up' heritage skills workshops at Llangollen Station every Saturday throughout the summer.
These are linked to the industrial history of the Dee Valley and activities will focus on topics such as working with wool, brass rubbing using railway signage and slate painting.
This Saturday, July 30, the workshops begin with working with wool.
The activities are free to take part in and will be located on Platform 2.
The aim is to give people the chance to learn a bit about how local industries were revolutionised by the coming of the railways with hands-on exhibits and activities.
* On Wednesday, August 24, Peter Dickinson will give a talk called Steaming Through North Wales at Llangollen Museum, starting at 7pm.
It is described as a nostalgic trip by train from Ruabon through Llangollen and Corwen to the Cambrian Coast.
No advance booking is necessary.
