Hey folks,
Here's a fun class in Espanola, just north of Santa Fe, New Mexico, held at the Espanola Valley Fiber Arts Center. The teacher, Sandy Voss, is very well known for her rag rugs. You can see her work at Centinela in Chimayo and Marigold Arts in Santa Fe.
RAG RUG WEAVING
with Sandy Voss – $210; materials extra.
Rag rug weaving is a time-honored
craft that has been practiced throughout the world for ages. Take your own part
in this noble tradition with professional rag weaver Sandy Voss in this 3-day
rag-weaving workshop. This is your chance to create the rugs you are dreaming
of with the help of a teacher who has a practiced eye for what makes a rag rug
attractive as well as durable. You can expect to come home with 2 to 5 finished
pieces, using weft materials of your choosing. Bring precut rags (or buy them
here at EVFAC) and/or fabric you’d like to use to cut up in class. While
beginning-level weavers are welcome, students do need to have looms warped
ahead of time (EVFAC will provide the specs for this). Class includes a 1-hour
lunch break. Sandy Voss, who often lends a helping hand
here at EVFAC, is an extremely prolific and successful handweaver who
has been weaving and selling rag rugs for more than 30 years.
Friday-Sunday,
November 18, 19 & 20; 9:30 AM – 4:30 PM
Registration is required! Please call 505-747-3577 or email education@evfac.org.
