Guided by Mario and Karen, you will learn how to use rug-weight yarns, select and prepare materials, and practise two styles of rug weaving and mastering essential finishing techniques such as braided edges and knotting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWith all tools and materials provided, including a rich selection of yarns, rags, and locally sourced rare breed fleece, you can choose to begin one or several small projects in a friendly, informal setting complete with plenty of tea, coffee, and biscuits. Set in a bright and airy mill surrounded by the stunning Mourne countryside, you will work on traditional floor looms. The mill itself carries a deep sense of heritage, having been originally established by Mario’s grandmother Gerd Hay-Edie in the 1950s, the family still work with the same looms and warping machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eBy the end of the experience, you will leave not only with new skills and knowledge but also with your own unique handmade rug or wall hanging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eLed by Mario Sierra and Karen Hay-Edie\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFRIDAY 14\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eth \u003c\/span\u003eAUGUST, SATURDAY 15th AUGUST + SUNDAY 16th AUGUST\u003cbr\u003e10:00 - 16:00\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eGROUP SIZE: 4\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eMOURNE TEXTILES\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e86 KILLOWEN OLD ROAD\u003cbr\u003eROSTREVOR\u003cbr\u003eBT34 3AE\u003cbr\u003eN.
