Come and learn how to turn all your scrap fabrics into beautiful rag rug makes!
Rag rugging is an easy craft to get into - it requires no previous experience and is a fantastic way to use up fabric scraps and give clothes which are past their best a new lease of life.
Run by our rag rug expert tutor, Kim (who was trained by Elspeth from Ragged Life) this full day workshop is designed to give you all the skills you need to be able to create rag rug projects.
During the session, you will get the opportunity to begin a cushion or small rug - depending on how ambitious you’re feeling!
