Rug Making Workshop for Kids  (November, 2013) — *Rug Making Workshop for Kids (November, 2013)*

A Rug, A Labyrinth

verysweetlife November 24, 2013

Weaving a rug from scraps of fabric is the kind of project that, if it holds one's interest (as it did this lad's) becomes meditative. Strips of fabric are woven outwards from the center in a widening spiral. A rug, a labyrinth? Indeed.

Taught a rug making workshop for children and grown-ups last weekend. Had as much fun as the kids! Demonstrating the steps during the workshop, wove a mini-version of a rug. Afterwards brought it home where it makes a good table mat.

Slow Style

Slow Style is an ongoing project by Sarah Kate Beaumont who since 2008 has designed and crafted every piece of her wardrobe. She has not purchased clothing since the project began.

Combining art and craftsmanship Beaumont’s project embraces individual style and sustainability. It seeks to empower others to question assumptions of consumerism with its inherent cycle of acquisition and disposal, and as an alternative, to explore self-reliance in our shared ecosystem.
