Rag rug making one day course in Hereford

Gill Bullock reviewed: Rag rug/rag wreath making day in North Herefordshire

"Having been aware of rag rugs for many years - starting with sight of one in a museum many years ago, I hadn't realised that they are relatively straightforward. Jenny made us all feel very welcome and set a tone of sharing, support and just the right amount of guidance. Tips and historical notes were presented during the day. My own seat cover design evolved organically and I motored away to complete it in the time. Progging was addictive! "

Jenni's Rag Rugs responded:

"Thanks for your review Gill and the photos you sent of your beautiful seat mat using Japanese materials. I do enjoy the way projects evolve organically depending on the materials which are available. "

"A great day rag rugging with Jenni! I learnt lots, and have been able to finish the project at home. And I feel inspired to do more.

Lovely, informal atmosphere, with a delicious lunch and lots of tea and coffee to keep the chat flowing.

The course is very well taught and provides the perfect balance of teaching, free practice and individual tuition. Jenni is very helpful but not overbearing or bossy! This is my second course with Jenni and I have loved both of them. Thank you"
