Learn: Braided Rag Rugs with Ilka White

 Registration is closed for this event
Join ‘Make the World Again’ exhibiting artist Ilka White to learn to make fantastic rag rugs using an off-loom, spiral woven braiding technique with a range of colour and design possibilities in this two-part workshop.

This braiding technique weaves in as you go so there is no stitching up required afterwards. Creating beautiful and unique floor coverings are possible using contrasting colours, or you can blend patterned rags for a ‘carpet of flowers’. Gather your own material to recycle.

5. A slender Crochet hook (ideal size is 2, 3, or 4mm)  – OR a handful of safety pins.
