Learn the basic steps of weaving yarn into a “mug rug” at workshop offered by Northern Río Grande National Heritage Area (NRGNHA) at Los Luceros Historic Site from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Saturday, June 20.

Discover the art of weaving in this creative and hands-on workshop where you’ll make your own mug rug—a small woven mat perfect for your coffee or teacup. Mug rugs are not only functional, but they also offer a charming way to bring handcrafted heritage into everyday life.

In this class, participants will learn the basics of loom weaving, including warp, weft, and finishing techniques, as well as create a personalized mug rug using color, texture, and pattern of your choice. No prior weaving experience is needed—this workshop is perfect for beginners and fiber enthusiasts alike.

This workshop introduces participants to a traditional art form found throughout Northern New Mexico and they will take home a woven mat to use and enjoy.
