Hullo everyone,
The braided rug course details are below
Look forward to seeing you on these day(s)
If it is too difficult for anyone to attend the second day, I can spend the afternoon carrying on for those who wish so that you can learn lacing.
The reason for having 2 days with a gap is so that you can go home and carry on braiding, then bring back your work and we learn to lace and watch a rug being born
Regards Anne
There is the possibility of a craft evening being set up for all interested persons, to carry on learning new crafts or polishing up old crafts.
If you know of anyone who would be interested in this, please ask them to let me know as I am trying to work out what we can offer.
Stage 1 16th April 9.30 to 12.30
Stage 2 19th April 9.30 to 12.30
Course fee $20.00, material costs $10.00
Please bring, scissors, morning tea.
Tea, coffee, milk and biscuits provided
I will bring some material that you can use to start with if you want to use it,
Otherwise you can bring your own fabrics too.
I prefer to use woollen material, but never buy it new, try scavenging the op shops for old woollen skirts, jackets, blankets etc.
Other materials can be used if you find something you like.
Lacing bodkin and thread will be provided plus handouts with hopefully all the information you will need.
This is a recycling/repurposing craft and as such that is how I will teach it.
I think you will all enjoy yourselves and the magic starts when we start to lace the braided fabrics.
A transformation from a plait to a rug really happens.
Also its amazing watching really ugly fabrics or plain dull fabrics, mix with other colours and come alive.
So who's coming to join me?
Cripes! Better get down the oppy sharpish on a blanket hunt!
Wow this sounds such a fun course. If I lived closer I'd be there for sure. Have fun with it and I can't wait to see your creation. x
