RYA RUGS—Design and Make your Own

About Us

Byrdcall Studio, LLC is owned and operated by Melinda Purcell Byrd. Founded in 2000, the studio originally was the site of a multitude of Melinda’s artistic endeavors from floorcloth design and construction, print making, oil painting, glass painting, and mural design and construction.

She occasionally found time to create a new rya rug always of her own design. As the granddaughter of Bill and Angie Lundgren of Lundgren Rya in Northboro, Massachusetts, she grew up around ryas and rya designers. Their rya business provided all the supplies needed from Sweden for the rya rug making process. In their later years, her grandparents counted on Melinda to act as primary designer, teacher, and business management. That was back in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
