Explore and experiment with the rag rug making techniques of hooking with wool and make a badge or small picture.  Hooking is a wonderful technique for using all sorts of wool, from very fine yarn to unspun fleece.  The same technique can be used to make rugs from rags, and a wide range of tools and base fabrics will be available to experiment with.

Suitable materials will be provided at a cost of £3.00 per student.
