Reflecting on the ecological and meditative qualities of rag rug making, join Fijian creative Ella Carling in a morning making session. Participants are invited to bring old clothes or textiles to repurpose into bespoke floor rugs, a making practice particularly forgiving to the demands of motherhood and care responsibilities.
This is a free workshop and registrations are limited.
Location: Tautai Gallery, Level 1, 300 Karangahape Rd, Auckland 1010
Rag Rug Making is part of the public programme for Solesolevaki.
