Jean reviewed: Rag Rug Full Day Workshop - Brighton

"For her birthday I treated my daughter to a day's Rag Rugging together in Brighton on 7.10.23. We were made to feel very welcome, were very well looked after with refreshments all day and enjoyed the relaxed "homely" feel Elspeth's flat offered us. Tutor Emily was excellent - we all quickly learnt the three techniques, with ample time to practice while each creating our own sunflower. Emily gave us lots of ideas and advice for follow up pieces, which I can't wait to start at home when time permits! A lovely friendly, productive, creative day spent with like minded people."

Ragged Life responded:

"That is great to hear, thank you Jean for such a lovely review. You were both a pleasure to teach :-)"

"Elspeth is a great host, the techniques are explained well and she walks round giving you tips along the way. We made a tote bag using various techniques, for us then to apply to the rug. It was a great day, nice small group and plenty of refreshments. Thank you Elspeth. Best Wishes Wendy"

Jane Bischoff reviewed: Rag Rug Full Day Workshop - Finsthwaite, Cumbria

"A thoroughly enjoyable day learn a new-to-me craft. Lorraine was a patient and knowledgeable tutor and the venue was perfect. We learned the three main techniques and made a trivet. The afternoon was spent getting ideas for other projects, choosing from a lovely selection of fabrics and deciding on the project, then getting started. A great way to spend time and can highly recommend the relaxed, informative and satisfyingly fun day we had, thank you!!"

Magda reviewed: Rag Rug Half Day Workshop - Hertfordshire

"What a lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon, with a small group of interesting people and in such a beautiful setting. This was a completely new craft for me that I'd never tried before. We had great instruction and good company, washed down with lots of teas and coffees. We were shown precisely how to use the various hooking tools and given thorough guidance in the most efficient way of producing the rag strips for our pieces, then we were well on our way. Elspeth's book is full of inspiration with clear pictures and diagrams, and lovely photos of finished projects. While we worked we were given tips and hints, and our work was inspected which helped us make corrections in the way we worked. I enjoyed my afternoon so much, I look forward to attending another workshop and perhaps tackling a more ambitious project."

Gillian C reviewed: Rag rug class - Surrey

"Very pleasant day spent with Elspeth, learning how to rag rug. Enormously satisfying starting our own projects and the first thing I did on returning home was to go in search of old clothes to chop up! Would thoroughly recommend this Worksop. Yummy cakes made by Kate at MakeCreateCraft too!"

Pam Green reviewed: Rag Rug Half Day Workshop - Hertfordshire

Jane Rouse reviewed: Rag Rug Half Day Workshop - Hertfordshire

"Great morning learning rag rugging techniques, starting with a small project and then beginning a larger project to build up confidence. I am now busy building on the skills I learnt to finish my cushion cover whilst planning future projects. Elspeth's book is a really helpful reference as well as offering inspiration for future projects. Thank you Elspeth."

Lynda reviewed: Rag Rug Half Day Workshop - Hertfordshire

"What a great way to spend a morning! Great company and expert tutor providing knowledge and encouragement. I had never picked up a latch tool but at the end of three hours I was confident to go home and continue the cushion I started at the course. Already I have spent two happy evenings in front of the TV working on my cushion and have even roped in my other half to cut up strips of fabric for me. So relaxing for both of us and a craft I look forward to continuing with for many years. Highly recommend Elspeth and her book for guidance."
