Description
Winifred Nicholson Cumbrian Rag Rugs is a beautifully illustrated book celebrating the work of British rag rug designer Winifred Nicholson.
Nicholson's inspiration for her craft began in the early 1920s when she visited her neighbor Margaret Warwick, who was making a rug from scraps of old clothing. Nicholson went on to revive the local 'hooky' rag rug making tradition at her Cumbrian farmhouse, creating over a hundred new rugs.
This book not only showcases Nicholson's own work but also features contemporary rag rug makers, including Emma Tennant and Louisa Creed, as well as works from Nicholson's nieces and the late Jenny Steinbugler. The book highlights the significance of Nicholson's contribution to the craft and her influence on modern makers.
