Our group aims to both preserve and promote hand rug making. We use a variety of techniques including hooking and proddy, latch and locker hooking, knitting and crochet. We are a lively group with a few new members each month, and welcome new members. We are not a substitute for a days workshop, more a group of like minded individuals who like to share good practice and work together to develop our skills. Our meetings are a mixture of talks, short workshops, “sit and mat” and community projects, as well as a Show and Tell each month when Members share their completed rugs with the rest of the group. It is the photos from the show and tell sessions that appear on the monthly web pages. If you are interested in joining us please browse some of the monthly meeting pages to get a flavour of our work.

We produce a emailed newsletter each month, both to document our activities, and also to remind members what to bring to the next meeting.

If you want to join us it is a good idea to email first via our contacts page please https://www.westridingruggers.co.uk/contact/ so that we can tell you an appropriate meeting to attend.
