What you'll do
Level up your DIY home decor and discover the amazing age-old skill of rag rugging at this fun, full-day craft class in York!
Guided by one of our expert tutors, this hands-on workshop will teach you all the tips and tricks you need to transform old T-shirts and forgotten favourites into beautiful handmade creations.
Along the way, you will learn the fundamental skills of rag rugging, which you can use to craft unique rag rugs, cushions, and art to spice up your home. Careful though—it’s highly addictive!
To begin, you will have the chance to start a sunflower cushion before choosing another project in the afternoon, e.g. a rag rug cushion, rag rug wreath, bouquet, or rug.
You will learn:
- How to use the rag rug equipment.
- How to work with hessian.
- All about the materials (selecting and preparing).
- How to design for rag rug.
- Both rag rugging techniques (loopy and shaggy).
You'll finish this beginner-friendly craft workshop with your beautiful rag rug creations to take home and a host of new skills that will come in handy whenever you need handmade gifts!

Your teacher
Hi, I’m Elspeth, avid crafter and professional rag rugger (now that’s something I never thought I would say!). When I was 14 I was asked to make a costume for my school’s recycled fashion show. I’d grown up with my mum’s rag rugs all over the house and thought it would make the perfect medium for my outfit. Hours and hours and t-shirts and t-shirts later, I finished my costume. I won second prize for my efforts but decided that rag rug clothing wasn’t exactly the easiest place to start… a rug would do for my next project. That’s where my story began and I’ve been rag rugging ever since.
I founded my company “Ragged Life” in 2014 after noticing that more and more people were looking to get into rag rugging. I started out running workshops at weekends and in the evenings in London and Hertfordshire but as demand picked up I left my old job to rag rug full time. I’m now a published author, have appeared on national TV and am a regular in craft magazines.
I love spreading rag rug cheer by running workshops across the country as well as selling rag rug starter kits and making handmade commissions.
