A two-day T-Shirt Rugs class is offered to guilds and other organizations. This class covers rag preparation, weaving and finishing the rugs. Students will learn how to prepare the t-shirts using the technique I developed to produce a stable weft material that makes even selvedges and a firm, durable rug. We will explore several other methods of preparing t-shirt rags for weaving, as well, so that students can leave with a broad knowledge of techniques to choose from in their own weaving.
My t-shirt rugs are included in Tom Knisely’s new book, Weaving Rag Rugs (Stackpole Books, April 1, 2014), and in the September/October issue of Handwoven magazine in the article, Perfect Marriage T-Shirt Rug.
