Rag Rug Workshop
June 27 @ 10:00 am – 4:00 pm
Join us for a day of rag rug making.
Recycle old clothes into a useful and beautiful rug, cushion or wallhanging.
All materials are included but please do bring anything you would like to use. Fine knitted jumpers and fleece fabric are best.
We will provide the hessian for you to take home so you can carry on rag rugging at home.
Hooks are available to use and buy. Try and think about a design beforehand – curves and circles work well.
Hooky rug making; a traditional skill revived as an art form in the Lanercost and Banks area in the mid 1960s, and passed down through the generations.
Learn how to make your own rug, as taught by Sarah Greenwood, a local rug maker. You can see her work on instagram. @sarahwarahsrugs
It’s a great way to recycle old clothes and fabrics. Hook your worn out or outgrown favourite garments into a new and functional mat or wall hanging. Make a memory mat!
£65 per person. All materials included.
