"One word - BRILLIANT! Elspeth is so lovely and explains everything very thoroughly. There is so much more to rag rugging than I had thought, and this workshop opened up a whole new craft to me. I'm really looking forward to creating something totally unique. It's a very portable craft, and very satisfying to do. Many thanks to Elspeth."

"The time just flew by, and I enjoyed every minute of it. Elspeth gave clear instructions which were easy to follow and despite the fact that I was a beginner, thanks to her I now feel competent enough to start my first project. We were a small group, which meant it felt like individual teaching and I would recommend this workshop to anyone. The fact that it was online rather than face-to-face made no difference in quality and makes it accessible to all, regardless of their location or situation. Thank you Elspeth, and Rugged Life, for my new skill!"

Ragged Life responded:

"Thank you Carol, it's great to hear you enjoyed it and you have a new skill. Be sure to keep in touch and share your creations. Elspeth x"

Mandy reviewed: Live Online Class - Beginner Rag Rug Techniques - Including Tools worth £30

"Totally recommend this course. Great dynamic on zoom. Elspeth is friendly and professional. We learnt lots together; three different techniques and time to practise and ask questions.The pack of goodies we were sent included three specialised tools and fabric samples. I started the Sunflower during the class and finished it during the following days. My technique improved and I found it very relaxing. I feel well equipped to move on to rag rug independently."

"Thank you Mandy, I'm so pleased you enjoyed the workshop - you were a perfect student :-)"

Sue Seear reviewed: Online Class - Beginner Rag Rug Techniques - Including Tools worth £26

"I really enjoyed this course. Zoom went perfectly and I had received everything I needed to start in the post beforehand. Elspeth was confident, friendly and easy to follow. These are not courses provided just for the lock-down! It's easy to see that Elspeth has been holding in person workshops for a while. I now have the confidence to have a go on my own, and Ragged Life has online tutorials newsletters and advice if we need it. Also they sell the tools and fabrics. Give it a go!"

Ragged Life responded:

"Thanks Sue, it was a pleasure to teach you, I'm so glad you found the class enjoyable. Keep in touch and show us your Rag Rug creations. Happy Rag Rugging, Elspeth"

Alana reviewed: Online Class - Beginner Rag Rug Techniques - Including Tools worth £26

"It was amazing to be able to learn a new craft from the comfort of my own home; no need to spend money on travel; no need to leave my small children for longer than necessary. All the tools and materials needed arrived before hand by post and we got rag rugging really quickly during the course. It is very satisfying and I am busy planning my first full rug :-). A tip; I joined by mobile phone which was fine but it was sometimes a wee bit hard to see what was going on. A tablet or laptop would have been a tiny bit easier. X"

Ragged Life responded:

"Thank you Alana, I'm so glad you enjoyed the course and got cracking straight away :-) Make sure you show us the finish product! Also, thanks for the tip to other online crafters."
