Rag rugs are a fun, functional, sustainable craft that can bring joy and interest to any space.
Community member Christine Bonney Goon will demonstrate how to prepare upcycled fabric for this easy, no-sew method of rug making. Fabric shears and uncut material will be provided to practice preparing the fabric strips for rug making. Bundles of prepared strips of fabric will also be provided to allow students to continue to work on their own rugs during the class, giving confidence to anywone who wants to continue a larger project at home.
Students are welcome to their own t-shirt-like fabric (clothes, sheets, etc. that would otherwise be ready to recycle) if specific colors or fabrics are preferred.
Ticket price includes:
- Fabric shears for use during class
- Uncut fabric material
- Prepared strips of fabric
