Join us for a relaxed and inspiring creative workshop led by Carol, who specialises in felting and fabric crafts. This friendly session is designed to give you the chance to learn directly from an expert in a calm, supportive and enjoyable environment. Come and have a go at Rag Rugs.

Rag Rugging is a traditional British craft which became very popular during the Victorian era with a resurgence during WW2. Using hessian sacking, leftover fabric and old clothing people made soft rugs very inexpensively, making the homes more cosy. It is very eco friendly as it utilises leftover fabric and clothing which may otherwise have gone to waste.

.During the three-hour afternoon workshop, you’ll be gently guided through new techniques, helping you to build confidence, develop new skills and enhance your crafting abilities, all at a comfortable, unhurried pace and under the watchful eye of your expert tutor. Whether you’re completely new to crafting or looking to expand your creative knowledge, you’ll feel welcomed, encouraged and supported every step of the way. It is a very easy to learn craft, suitable for all ages and abilities. We will be using traditional proddy/proggy tools which are very comfortable to hold, even if you have dexterity problems. You will have the choice to create a decorative heart, coaster or flowers.

We believe that everyone deserves the chance to create, so complete beginners are not only welcome, but positively encouraged. This is your time to relax, connect with others and discover the joy of learning something new. 💜✨
