31st May - Modern Rag Rug Techniques with Darn It! Workshops
Saturday 31st May 2025
10am - 4pm
Your ticket includes lunch and a snack from Hawarden Estate Farm Shop, plus unlimited tea and coffee.
Rag Rugging is a technique traditionally used to turn rags into textural rags.
In this open-ended session you'll learn two versatile rag rug techniques that can be used to make a piece of wall art, homewares, a brooch or more.
As rag rugging takes a long time to complete, you may not finish your piece in the session (unless opt to do a brooch, then you will finish). But you will go away with tools and skills to complete it!
There will be a wide range of fabric scraps, recycled materials, colourful rope, buttons and other things to choose from to make your piece unique.
