Teen Gullah Rag Rug Camp
Join Quilter Artist and Keeper of the Culture, Cookie Washington, for a Gullah Rag Rug Summer Camp geared for teens. Washington will provide an interactive demonstration of Rag Rug technique honoring Gullah artist Sharon Cooper-Murray, “The Gullah Lady.” Passed down generation by generation, this technique traditionally combined feed and grain sacks with rag strips to make unique quilts.
This three-day camp will take place from 1 to 4 p.m. each day, and teens will learn to utilize special tools to create a rag quilt. Campers will each receive their own 9×9-inch square of burlap and sub-cut African print fabrics and neutral color muslin or broadcloth scraps.
Teens are strongly encouraged to bring additional bits of clothing or scrap fabric. All necessary tools will be provided.
$175 for Museum Members | $195 for Non-members
