Rug Making Workshop

Rug Making Workshop In-Person

In the town of Leonora in Western Australia, Ngalia elders grappled with the grief and marks of environmental devastation - more than 50,000 mining holes have scarred the landscape. As a way to symbolically “seal” one of the holes, the idea of Reclaim The Void was born. The vision – covering just one of the mining pits with a large-scale “dot” artwork made up of thousands of handmade circular rag rugs woven from discarded fabric, approximately 5,000 in all. The Palm Desert Library and S.C.R.A.P. Gallery will join the international weaving collaboration during June and July, followed by a special rug sendoff in August.

Workshops held throughout June and July
