Rag rug making with Ella Carling

Reflecting on the ecological and meditative qualities of rag rug making, join Fijian creative Ella Carling in a morning making session. Participants are invited to bring old clothes or textiles to repurpose into bespoke floor rugs, a making practice particularly forgiving to the demands of motherhood and care responsibilities.

This is a free workshop and registrations are limited.
