A great way to recycle old clothes and fabric!

Learn to make fantastic rag rugs using an off-loom, spiral-woven braiding technique. Ilka shares an inspiring off-loom, spiral-woven braiding technique with a range of colour and design possibilities in this two part workshop.

This braiding technique weaves in as we go so there is no stitching up required afterward. Beautiful and unique floor coverings are possible using contrasting colours, or you can blend patterned rags for a ‘carpet of flowers’.

Bring your own material to recycle and find out what riches can come from rags…

These sessions will be held online via Zoom. Participants will receive login details prior to workshop.

COST OF 2 DAY CLASS: $105

I was lucky enough to do the first online rug making class with Ilka. It was so good. Ilka is so patient & clear in her instruction. Highly recommend this class.

Thanks so much for a very professional zoom workshop. I had no idea it was your first. You had so much extended content to cater to everyone’s possible interest and level of technical ability yet you managed to keep the pace slow and relaxed so everyone moved together as a group.
I am very inspired with the possibilities that lie ahead. Thank you for that gift.”
