Modern Rag Rug Workshop

In this workshop, you will learn the art of rag rugging, a traditional technique that turns rags into beautiful, textural homewares. With a rich history and varied techniques from region to region, rag rugging is a skill that allows you to upcycle scraps into tactile pieces of art.

During this open-ended session, you will learn two versatile rag rug techniques that can be used to create wall art, homewares, brooches, and more. While completing a rag rug piece can be time-consuming, you will leave with the tools and skills necessary to finish it at your own pace. If you choose to make a brooch, you will have the satisfaction of completing it during the workshop itself.

Materials for your project will be provided, including a wide range of fabric scraps, recycled materials, colourful rope, buttons, and other unique items to make your piece truly one-of-a-kind.

Don't worry if you're new to rag rugging, as this class is designed for beginners and there will be guidance and support throughout the session. You'll feel inspired and uplifted as you learn this traditional craft and create something beautiful with your own hands.

By the end of the workshop, you will not only have gained new skills and techniques, but also a newfound appreciation for upcycling and the ability to transform scraps into treasured pieces of art or homewares.
