Traditional rag rug workshop- Fri 24th April 1-3pm and 6-8pm

Traditional Rag Rugging Workshop

Step back in time and learn the wonderful craft of traditional rag rugging – a skill once used by working-class families to create warm, durable rugs from recycled fabrics.

After visiting the historic craft demonstrations at Beamish at Christmas and learning the skills, I was inspired to bring this beautiful, sustainable tradition to life in this hands-on workshop.

Using fully recycled fabrics and materials, you’ll learn the traditional rag rugging techniques and begin creating your very own rug. As a full rug takes time to complete, during the session you will:

• Learn the traditional rag rugging method
• Create and complete a section of your own rug
• Gain the skills and confidence to finish the rug at home

Rag rugs are wonderfully warm, cosy and sustainable, making them a perfect addition to any home.

☕ Free tea and coffee will be provided so you can relax and enjoy the crafting experience.
