No Sew Braided Rugs with Kirsten Wert

  • Red Wing Arts Clay & Creative Center 436 W 3rd St Red Wing, MN 55066 (map)

In this workshop, participants will learn how to create a braided oval rug using a unique, no-sew weaving technique using upcycled sheets. By the end of the class, you will be able to go home and finish your rug!

Please bring two different colored sheets (preferably used!) and a sharp scissors to class. Any size sheet is fine, but avoid white or very light colors as they will show more dirt in a finished rug.

Most thrift stores or used clothing stores have old sheets that are perfect for upcycling! Or bring some used sheets from your own linen closet that are no longer used.
