About this Event
Get eco-creative learning how to turn used t-shirts into a rag rug masterpiece.
Working with an artist, you’ll learn how to make a braided rag rug (with virtually no sewing) using old t-shirts. See how far you get with growing your rug in the class—you’ll walk away with a small rug with the option to grow it more at home. This might possibly be the easiest craft project you’ll ever make!
IMPORTANT * Please bring four old t-shirts–see below.

Similar to the paint and sip concept, all my evening classes for adults are BYO drinks welcome. There is, of course, no obligation to drink alcohol. There’s a late opening Dome Cafe next to the venue, if you’d rather bring a coffee. Hot and cold water are available on request at the venue and I have a selection of teas available.
WHAT TO BRING
Please bring four unwanted t-shirts, as this technique only works with t-shirt (jersey) fabric.
If you don’t have any, you can source them free or at a low cost, from friends, family, a local thrift shop, or put a call out on your local Buy Nothing Facebook group.
If you have plenty to choose from, choose the colours you love or colours that work well together, for example:
whites, yellows, greens, blues
whites, yellows, oranges, reds
whites, pinks, purples
mixed pastels
mixed brights
whites, greys, blacks
complimentary colours contrast well–these are opposites on the colour wheel, like orange and blue, or red and green.
