Rag Rugs- Prairie Daisy Mat with Debbie Siniska
* THIS EVENT HAS NOW FINISHED *
Saturday 31st August 2019 | 9:30am - 1:30pm
This timeless thrift craft has survived the test of time and is still a great way to recycle your pre loved clothes and textiles.
You will work with traditional hand tools onto a hessian backing to create a hooky or proddy surface – and make a start on a slip mat or seat mat. Cost £55 per person . Please contact Debbie to book your place at info@debbiesiniska.co.uk
I do ask that students bring pre loved tee shirts/fine knit woolies etc that they would like to recycle.
New hand tools will be available to buy if people want to continue with the craft.
