Description

Learn about plain weave and its variations (stripes, twisted weft, inlay and gradations), color use, weft material selection and finishes for rag rug weaving.  Returnees may opt for a Log Cabin, Patchwork, Double Binding or Diamond rug.  Bring traditional recycled fabric or use new for a more tailored look.  Looms and weaving accessories provided.  Sewing machine in good working order is highly recommended.

 

Deb Sharpee’s interest in weaving was first sparked as a small child, watching her grandmother weave rag rugs.  Miles of warp later, Deb has much to share with her students.  Her work has been published in Weavers, Complex Weavers Journal, Crafts Report and Handwoven magazines, and the books Weaving Contemporary Rag Rugs and the latest edition of the Rag Rug Handbook.
