Woodhorn Matters is a group who meet together regularly, making the traditional proggy (or clippy) and hooky rugs and experimenting with a wide range of techniques, styles and materials.

Although we meet as a group, learning from and encouraging each other, nearly all the work we do is as individuals. Our mats are designed from scratch to our own patterns, free drawn by ourselves from our own imagination or other inspiration.

For our traditional mats we follow the old way of working on a hessian base, usually on a frame, and we use recycled textiles, some of which we dye to meet our needs for particular colours and textures. At other times we experiment with a wide range of materials.

In addition to mat making we use the same techniques to produce wall hangings, cushions, seat covers, bags, Christmas decorations etc.
