Working from a small production workshop in Philadelphia, Claudia Mills Studio designs and creates one of a kind handwoven rugs. For over three decades I have offered a line of individually designed rugs and custom created site-specific rugs. Practiced in many cultures, the art of weaving rag rugs has a timeless quality. While they have been traditionally woven with recycled textiles, we create our rag rugs in a fresh palette of colors and new fabrics, updating the age-old technique to create contemporary rugs for today’s homes. I have now been weaving rugs for 30 years, adapting the traditional rag rug craft to my own contemporary aesthetic. As a designer I try to strike a balance between color, texture and pattern in each rug. Interlacing colored yarns and strips of fabric create infinitely variable possibilities for color and textural effects.
