Day workshop in North Herefordshire
Course Overview
Learn two vintage rag rug techniques and make a sampler or start a project like a seat mat or rag rug. Progging gives a shaggy finish when small pieces of fabric are pushed or pulled through a backing. Granny would have used old clothes and food sacking.
Hooking is used for pictorial rugs/wallworks.
If you want to try rag rug making from home, Jenni makes kits and is happy to provide help and support by email and phone. Kits are shown on her website.
