SUMMARY:Create a Rag Rug (for 13 – 25yrs)
DESCRIPTION:Learn how to create a rag rug from old textiles.\n\n\nRag weaving is a wonderful way to take old textiles and give them new life. Come to this workshop to learn how to create your very own rag rug that’s truly unique. \nIf you have old sheets/doona covers to share\, please bring them to the workshop and learn how to repurpose them into a rag rug. \nWe will be using hula hoops for the weaving frame\, so if you have a hula hoop at home\, please bring it along. Or check if your local op shop has hula hoops for sale. We have some to share if you don’t have your own hoop. \nThis workshop is for young people aged 13 to 25 years. \nThis workshop is hosted by the City of Canning in partnership with the Australian Association for Environmental Education WA Chapter. \nThis workshop has been supported by a grant from the Government of Western Australia and the Waste Authority. It responds to Australia’s growing textile waste problem by empowering young people in Canning with practical knowledge and skills to challenge fast fashion and choose sustainable alternatives such as upcycling\, swapping and second‑hand shopping.
