All day rag-rugging workshop with Victoria Jackson from Ragged Life

Our full day workshops are designed to give you all the skills you need to be able to start any rag rug project for yourself at home. With plenty of 1-2-1 help throughout the day you will learn how to use the rag rug equipment, how to work with hessian, how to choose and prepare materials, how to design for rag rug, how to do the two different types of rag rugging (loopy and shaggy) and how to finish your work.
During the morning you will complete a sunflower design on a hessian shopping bag using the different techniques and during the session later you will get the opportunity to begin a rug, cushion or smaller project (depending on how ambitious you’re feeling)
You can either bring a packed lunch or order food from our café on the day. It will be relaxing and sociable, giving you the confidence to start a project of your own.
