Learn to make fantastic rag rugs at Mara Ripani’s beautiful farm! Ilka teaches a wonderful off-loom, spiral-woven braiding technique and shares an inspiring range of colour and design possibilities in this one day workshop. Beautiful and unique floor coverings are possible using contrasting colours, or you can blend patterned rags for a ‘carpet of flowers’. This braiding technique weaves in as we go so there is no stitching up required afterward. Bring your own material to recycle and find out what riches can come from rags…
Morning – Introduction and braiding basics
Afternoon – Further design possibilities, tricky bits and rug finishing
Mara provides a lovely light lunch + tea & coffee.
