I make rag rugs from vintage pure wool blankets and yarn using different traditional techniques. I buy old rug tools to use and sell together with vintage rugs and other textile related treasures. I also enjoy making smaller items such as cushions and knitted decorations. Throughout the festival I shall be demonstrating making a rug and selling yarns, materials and tools. Several of my designs are inspired by being by the sea. I am a longstanding member of the Staithes Arts and Crafts group..
