Join Julie and I, for a Day Course in Rug Making ...
This day is split into two so you will learn rag rug making (both clippy AND hooky methods) PLUS the second half of the day you will learn how to make a raw fleece peg loom rug.
Date of the Rug Making Course
Saturday 29th November 2025
Time.
10am - 5pm
Bring a bag of rags such as fleeces, hoodies, leggings, t shirts and felts, stretch velvets are good too. Then, after a design session and a practise of two methods; clippy and hooky you can begin your first work of art on hessian. A great way to use up childrens' old clothes to make a memory mat. You can also turn your work into a bag, wallhanging or cushion cover - it doesn't have to be a rug!
- Tools, hessian, wool and peg looms are provided. Though feel free to bring anything you want to add!
- Refreshments are included
- Proper loo and free parking on site
- Please bring a packed lunch.
Course takes place at Wild Harvest School of Self-Reliance, in the rural outskirts of York. YO424TA

We believe this education should be accessible and aim to price to cover our costs and pay our taxes but also be affordable to you. Sustainable education should not be an elite subject but should be accessible to all. We are not grant funded though so please don't expect us to compete with free temporary initiatives using public money.

Since 2006 eco principles have been at the heart of what we do. It's not a new marketing angle for us; our courses are based upon the original values and lifestyle of our founder who has long lived a life of sustainability and self-reliance.

Plus we have a policy of no animals in the units to keep them feeling fresh and ok for allergy sufferers. We are down the road from Storwood Kennels if you need pet boarding.
What if I Can't Make It?
We know you wouldn't want us to cancel on you and hope that you see we book tutors, organise resources and block time out for bookings so we allow you to sell your space on, or gift it to a friend. Or we can offer you online courses and ebooks instead.
