Creative textile recycling day in Herefordshire
Description
Learn two vintage rag rug techniques and start a seat mat or rag rug, or make a sampler. Progging gives a shaggy finish when small pieces of fabric are pushed or pulled through a hessian backing. Hooking is used for detailed or pictorial work as thin strips of fabric or yarn are hooked up in loops through a backing fabric. Granny would have used old clothes and food sacking. Recycle old clothes or bedding. Warning: rag rug making can be addictive!
What's included in the price?
A piece of hessian to work on, beverages & biscuits.

Maker
Jenni has shared traditional rag rug techniques of hooking, progging and plaiting for many years. She believes in re-using, sourcing locally and treading lightly on the planet. Whilst bringing rag rug making into the twenty-first century, Jenni honours the generations of ordinary people who used their cast-off clothing to make warm mats and loves helping people to explore their creativity through such an accessible medium at courses locally and around the country.
