Proddy or prodded rugs are traditional floor coverings found in Northern Ireland and the north counties of England.

After hand woven clothing had no other use, it was cut into strips, usually by children in the evenings, and hand pulled

through rough hessian, or burlap for use through their cottages.

This class will cover the traditional technique and explore more modern approaches for students to explore.

All material will be provided as well as a handout of proddy maker
