Gather up old sheets, clothes or scrap fabric pieces and transform these rags into a beautiful rug! The class will cover the basics of making a woven rag rug out of recycled fabrics. This workshop will cover from start to finish how to construct a rag rug, from cutting the fabric to simple weaving techniques, including warping the loom and joining pieces of fabric. Participants will get started on a small circular or half-circle rug which they can take home and finish crafting at their leisure! Class fee includes fabric and a circle loom (hula hoop!). You are welcome to bring in your own cotton bed sheets or t-shirts to customize your rug colors.
