We visit Fritz Haeg at his home and studio in Los Angeles and receive the assignment to make a rag rug! But not just any rag rug–one that you make over time and do something on. Find more detailed instruction here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6By4XYlPIBA

1. Gather old textiles (clothes, bed sheets, etc.)
2. Make a rug
3. Share your journey of making the rug and what you do on it
4. Upload it using #theartassignment
5. Fame and glory (your work might be in a future episode)
