Description
Making hard wearing rag rugs out of old clothes or unwanted fabric is a brilliant way to recycle. We will learn the skills needed to make both a hooked rag rug and a looped rag rug. You will find yourself hunting for colour and texture in our stash of fabric remnants - and then in your cupboards and wardrobes at home! During this workshop you will learn: How to look at old fabrics in a new way How to plan a simple design How to use a rug making hook How to cut your fabric efficiently We have lots of scrap fabrics to use, but please feel free to bring along your own too. Old T-shirts, work brilliantly and it really doesn't matter what condition they are in! Think about colour and texture.... old washing up gloves? Netting? All sorts of things work. What will yours be... a rug? A cushion? A table mat? a bag? Our Studio is in a beautiful converted Oast with exposed beams and gentle views across the farmland. Filled with mouth-watering aromas from The Oast Bakery, where Alison prepares our delicious refreshments, this is the perfect place to escape the pressures of daily life and enjoy some creative time for yourself.
