The Commandery - Worcester

Rag rugging became widespread during the Victorian era – it was a way to make the most of every bit of material and to cover chilly floors.

Enjoy a morning learning to use traditional rag rugging tools and try out different techniques as you design and create your own rug at The Commandery!

Saturday 13 June 2026, 10.30am – 12.30pm. Drinks and biscuits included. 😎
