Round Top Texas Rug Camp March 10 - 14 2019

Our 2018 rug camp at the Prairie at Round Top in charming ROUND TOP, TX was such a huge success we have decided to hold the camp again in 2019. Round Top is well known as one of the finest and largest antique centers in the US and is a very special place. The Prairie farm was owned until recently by Rachel Ashwell of Shabby Chic fame, and her special touches are still a part of this unique and beautiful place.

We will have new tables and chairs as well as new lighting for this camp as well as adding a 2nd teacher, so we're sure this expanded camp will be even better!! For 2019, we offer your choice of full accommodations for overnight stay and all meals as well as day student registration for local rug hookers. Select your preference below; we anticipate these class options will fill up quickly and registration is limited for each option. We will have a wait list available as each class option fills up, you may sign up ($1 fee) and your request will be held in 'date order received' for any openings. You will be notified immediately if you have obtained one of your desired spot(s).

Camp hours - Check-in 3:00 pm Sunday March 10, depart after noon lunch on Thursday March 14. Meet and Greet 4:00 pm Sunday. Classes begin 4:30 Sunday. Additional one day B & B stay is available at discount pricing.
