Give old textiles new life and discover the joy of traditional handcraft in this Beginners Rag Rug Making Class. Perfect for absolute beginners, this class will guide you through the simple, satisfying process of transforming scraps of fabric into a colourful, textured rug full of character.
You’ll learn the essential techniques of rag rugging. Along the way, you’ll explore creative approaches to colour and pattern, and gain the confidence to continue at home using tools and fabrics you already have.
What you’ll get:
Step-by-step tuition in beginner-friendly rag rug techniques
Guidance on choosing and preparing fabrics
Tips for creating patterns, textures, and colour combinations
A fun, sustainable craft that turns scraps into heirlooms
Slow, sustainable, and endlessly creative - rag rug making is a craft of both heritage and heart.
Bring your own fabrics (some will be provided) this is the ultimate stash buster! Bed covers, sheets, cotton shirts, t-shirts, denim - almost anything can be transformed! It’s an incredible way to upcycle!
This workshop is for the creation of bespoke home furnishing pieces to create a cosy, warm, inviting and homely space in Fornighty Hall's small back room. These pieces will stay on site and not be taken home. The course price reflects this and has been subsidised by grant funding.
A creative project for the community of East Nairnshire, with an over arching creative theme focusing on local wildlife and nature as our inspiration- 'the humble leaf'.
Participants will gain in confidence, skills and knowledge to be able to expand on these crafts at home or together at the knit and natter sessions in the hall.
Workshops hosted at Fornighty Hall - Nairn
