Rag Rug Workshop

Rag Rug Workshop

Somerset Rural Life MuseumGlastonbury, England
Saturday, Apr 25, 2026 from 10 am to 12:30 pm
Overview

Join us for a morning looking at the history of rag rug making and starting your own rag rug.

People have been making rag rugs for years, using recycled fabrics and hessian to make these shaggy, colourful rugs. Come along and have a go at making your own rag rug and find out more about the history of this colourful craft.

Rag rugs are a great way to upcycle your old clothes (especially t-shirts) so please do bring them along to include and give them a new lease of life!

This will be a relaxed-social session, including friendly discussion and a hands-on activity, with Museums' Manager Susie Simmons.

Suitable for age 16+
