Rag Rug Full Day Workshop - Finsthwaite, Cumbria
Description
Have fun turning old t-shirts and forgotten favourites into recycled works of art with the age-old skill of rag rugging. In this full day day class you will learn all the skills you will need to be able to make unique rag rugs, cushions and art to spice up your home. Careful though, it’s addictive! In this workshop, which is run at the lovely July Flower Tree Cottage, you will learn the techniques making flowers and then choose another project in the afternoon e.g. a rag rug cushion, rag rug wreath, bouquet, shopping bag or rug. - How to use the rag rug equipment - How to work with hessian - Materials (selecting & preparing) - Both rag rugging techniques (loopy & shaggy) You will be provided with all the materials you need during the class but as the charm of rag rugging is often in the memories attached to old clothes, you're welcome to bring along any of your own clothing you’d like to incorporate, particularly if you have clothing with sentimental value that you'd like to use. Our founder, Elspeth Jackson, is one of the leading rag ruggers in the country. She is one of the expert teachers at the Knitting & Stitching Show, has had a rag rug book, "Rag Rugs, Pillows & More," published on the subject and is a regular in craft magazines. This class is suitable for all levels but do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions.
