Ragwork is a traditional craft that was employed to turn unwanted, worn out clothes into much needed rugs and floor coverings.
In the last few years the craft has been revived to produce not only rugs, but also pictures, hats, bags etc.
Ragwork can be done in various ways including hooking, prodding, plaiting, knitting and crochet.
During my ragwork workshop people will learn how to draw their design onto hessian, prepare strips of fabric and use a latch hook to create a ragwork picture.
Instruction will be given on the best types of fabric to use, what type of picture is suitable for a beginner and how to finished the picture when it is complete.
I can tailor any workshop to your requirements and deliver at any level from beginner to advanced. If you'd like me to run a Rag Rugging workshop for your school, textile group or community group let me know.
I'm happy to travel anywhere - in fact I'd love to visit you.
I also offer individual tuition.
