The Audubon Community Nature Center will host Braided Wool Rug Techniques from 1 to 3 p.m. Friday.

Using reclaimed wool clothing, those attending can learn how to start, braid, add lengths and lace to create braided wool rugs of varying sizes with a hands-on project. Students will learn the techniques by creating a wool trivet and will also receive a lacing needle and a braiding hook. The skills can be used to make rugs of all sizes.

Instructor Diana Hatfield has been making braided wool rugs for more than a decade, repurposing wool clothing into useful items. She has made more than 100 rugs of all shapes and sizes. Self-taught, she has tweaked the methods to find ones that work well for wool and has developed tools that make the process easier. At community fairs she has taken best-in-show as well as other ribbons for her work.

Those attending must know how to braid prior to taking part in the workshop. Those attending should bring their own fabric shears if they have them.

Tuition is $32 per person with a $10 fee for materials. Members receive a 25 percent discount on tuition at checkout.
