Take part in the centuries old craft that has been used all around the world! Taking discarded textiles- specifically discarded bed sheets in this case, we will be learning the art of braided in rugs- flat weaving ‘in the round’. Clean sheets will be provided but participants are encouraged to bring their own as well! Participants will walk away with a started project and a pamphlet on how to finish their rag rugs at home!
