Classes - Design your own Rug

Design your own rug (size - 18" X 24") at Chairmaker and Friends. Bring leftover wool from old projects. Bring your own ideas or an idea that is "you" to draw on linen backing to create your own rug. Learn how to transfer patterns to backing and color plan your rug. The cost of the class is $30.00. This includes instruction, linen backing and facility charge.

Woolies available for purchase to incorporate with your scraps. The Chairmaker offers a wide variety of off the bolt woolens, as well as spot dyes, swatches, and textures for both the traditional fine cut and primitive artisan. A variety of patterns are available on linen, warp, monks, and burlap backing. If you desire a different size of backing or wool colors for the classes please contact Katie prior to the date so she can come prepared for you.
