Discover the art of weaving in a hands-on workshop where participants will make their own mug rug — a small woven mat perfect for a coffee or teacup. Mug rugs are not only functional, but they also offer a way to bring handcrafted heritage into everyday life.
In this class, participants will learn the basics of loom weaving, including warp, weft and finishing techniques, as well as create a personalized mug rug using color, texture and pattern of their choice. No prior weaving experience is needed — this workshop is perfect for beginners and fiber enthusiasts alike.
