At ReTweed we hate to throw anything away so this craft is just up our upcycling street. Come along to this workshop and you’ll be amazed at how easy it is to create something delightful for your home.

This session will incorporate seascapes and coastal and maritime themes using waste textiles to create a wonderful rag rug feature piece for your home to remind you of the beautiful Berwickshire Coast. The session will also incorporate design elements and encourage participants to be brave with mixing, patterns, colours and different textures to great artistic effect.

We will demonstrate the traditional techniques of hooking and podging strips of fabric through hessian backing to make rugs, wall hangings, cushions, blankets and seat mats. During the workshop we will also share the history and heritage of rag rugging in Britain and introduce specific techniques and patterns associated with the local area.

At the end of the day you will take home your own rag rug creation along with a wealth of ideas for making more rag rug creations at home.
