I so enjoyed this course, Elsbeth was brilliant and so easy to understand. If there was anything you needed to know, she was really helpful. Would definitely do another course and would thoroughly recommend your courses - thank you again :-)
Response from Ragged Life:
Thank you Jeanette, we look forward to seeing you on another course in the future. Make sure you share your creations with us :-) Happy Rag Rugging, Elspeth xTotally 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.
Response from Ragged Life:
Thank you Mandy, I'm so pleased you enjoyed the workshop - you were a perfect student :-)Really enjoyed the online workshop! Elspeth was very clear with instruction and welcomed any questions as well as checking in and troubleshooting for each person along the way. I feel very well equiped to start my first rag rug project from this amazing workshop and feel have all the support should I need from the Ragged Life team. Highly recommend!
Response from Ragged Life:
Thank you Corey, it was a pleasure to teach you. Make sure you send us pictures of your first creation :-)I really enjoyed this workshop - it was a present from my daughter. Tools/material arrived prior to the day, emails and phone calls to check all ok. Zoom worked really well and Elspeth was brilliant explaining everything clearly. I finished my sunflower and feel very proud - planning my next project now. Thank you
Response from Ragged Life:
Thank you Jackie, I'm so pleased you enjoyed the workshop, we can't wait to see what you create, keep in touch.Happy Rag Rugging, Elspeth
Elspeth, very patiently, took us through the basic steps and enabled us all to feel confident that we could finish the sunflower project very easily on our own. I finished mine today and was very pleased with the outcome.
Response from Ragged Life:
Thank you Janet, I'm so pleased you found the workshop useful and that you're pleased with your finished sunflower. Make sure you send us pictures of any future creations. Happy Rag Rugging, Elspeth xI 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!
Response from Ragged Life:
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
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
Response from Ragged Life:
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.
In 2 hours I learnt a new craft, from start to finish. I feel that I have now got the skills I need to make rugs, cushions and more that will get me recycling my old clothes and creating modern art for my house.
Thank you.
Response from Ragged Life:
Thanks for much for your kind words Susanna. We can't wait to see what you make!
