Rag Rug Making

“Making Rag Rugs” will meet on Monday, April 8, 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. The class will meet in the Adams/Vines Gallery. Registration fee is $50 and includes the cost of the student’s loom.

Join Dru Duncan and loom a cozy rag rug for your home. During the early settlement of north America, it was fairly common that itinerant weavers would travel the frontier with their looms and lodge with families while they did their weaving. Even through the 1930’s it was common that household rags were taken to rug weavers to use for weaving rugs. Students will receive a loom and instruction. Bring to class scissors and several yards of fabric strips, 1 ½ inches wide. The loom will make a rug about 25” x 35”. This is a great project for kids too.

To register, call Lena Ellington or Lorrie Towery, (870) 762-3167 or email lellington@smail.anc.edu.
