Modern Rag Rug Workshop
June 7 @ 2:00 pm - 4:30 pm
£30.00
Rag Rugging is a technique traditionally used to turn rags into textural rugs.
In this open ended session you’ll learn two versatile rag rug techniques that can be used to create wall art, homewares, brooches and more! There will be a wide range of fabric scraps, recycled materials, colourful rope, buttons and other things to choose from to make your piece unique.
As rag rugging takes a long time to complete you may not finish your piece in the session (unless you’re creating a brooch) but will go away with tools and skills to complete it.
All materials included.
Suitable for ages 14+. Under 18s must be accompanied by an adult.
