Christine Henderson reviewed: Rag Rug Workshop - Full Day - York

"Having absolutely no experience of rag rugging, I absolutely loved this course. It was easy to grasp and I really enjoyed picking out the coloured bags in all the different textures. You had a choice of making a small rug, tote bag, flowers, a garland or cushion cover. I am completely "hooked"."

Ragged Life Ltd responded:

"Thank you Christine, we're so glad it 'hooked' you :-) You were a pleasure to teach."

"This was such an enjoyable course. We were able to complete the decoration of a tote bag, and start a larger project to complete at home. All the materials needed were provided, and there were printed instructions to take home. Elspeth shared her knowledge in a clear and concise way, and gave us the skills to turn unwanted textiles into something useful and beautiful. Thank you Elspeth."

Tena reviewed: Rag Rug Full Day Workshop - Bristol

"100% recommendation.Elspeth is a very friendly and professional teacher. I am a novice to rag rugging, and she explained three different techniques so clearly that I had no difficulties at all. She was giving us tonnes of hints and tricks from her experiences and answering all my questions before I could even ask them. The equipment she offers is of the highest quality, and we were invited to take as much fabric as we wanted, so I was able to finish a whole rug within 10 days after the workshop. The atmosphere during the workshop was great. I would like her to do another workshop about weaving and braiding. I bought her second book, and I like it. "

Ragged Life Ltd responded:

"Oh thank you Tena for the lovely review, we really appreciate it :-) You were a pleasure to teach."

Jean reviewed: Rag Rug Full Day Workshop - Brighton

"For her birthday I treated my daughter to a day's Rag Rugging together in Brighton on 7.10.23. We were made to feel very welcome, were very well looked after with refreshments all day and enjoyed the relaxed "homely" feel Elspeth's flat offered us. Tutor Emily was excellent - we all quickly learnt the three techniques, with ample time to practice while each creating our own sunflower. Emily gave us lots of ideas and advice for follow up pieces, which I can't wait to start at home when time permits! A lovely friendly, productive, creative day spent with like minded people."

Ragged Life Ltd responded:

"That is great to hear, thank you Jean for such a lovely review. You were both a pleasure to teach :-)"

Sue Osbon reviewed: Rag Rug Workshop - Full Day - York

"A really enjoyable course; well-timed, friendly, full of information and advice. Plenty of material to work with on the day. Some items to take away were included in the course fee and there was plenty more to buy at reasonable prices (but no pressure to buy). The course tutors (Lorraine and Casey) were knowledgeable and kept us all supplied with tea, coffee and biscuits. Whether attending on your own or with some friends, I would recommend it. "
