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
