Simple and beautiful
With some fabric and a few tools, you can make your very own traditional braided rug. You'll find that braiding calms you down and energizes you - the colors, the feel of the materials, the connection. Choose your colors to match your space and your mood.
Braiding Together
I'll be there every step of the way as you work at your own pace (I'll try to keep the dogs out of your way, but they like braiding as much as I do...)
Simple Materials
It doesn't take much to make a beautiful rug. Fabric and twine. The process can be transformational.
Good Habits, Good Results
My classes take you beyond simply following instructions. I encourage you to observe and understand - skills that are useful no matter what you're doing. The results will last you a lifetime.
Example Curriculum
Passing It On -
I have been making rugs since I was 6. It's my way of connecting, dialoguing with color and material. For a while, I just figured things out as I went along. When I started entering rugs in county fairs, I found myself suddenly part of a community of women who had been making rugs their whole lives, too. Most rug braiding instructions describe the steps, but none of them explain the structure of braiding so that it comes to life the way it does when knowledge is passed from person to person. I made these videos to guide you along as I would in person, save you some time by training your eye and your hands at the same time and give you the confidence to make the rugs you have always wanted to braid.
