Beginning Primitive Rug Hooking, (In-Person) May 6, 2023

Students will learn rug hooking with wool fabric strips on a linen backing to create a beautiful landscape design.

Topics covered will include: hooking straight and curved lines; using hard and soft edges; and understanding atmospheric perspective. At the end of the day, students will leave with a hooked 4-by-6-inch landscape ready to be framed, a new love for this traditional artform, and the skills to continue rug hooking at home.

Your instructor will provide the following materials:

• Linen backing with hand drawn design
• Wool strips for hooking design
• Hoop, hook, and tapestry needle
• Complete instructions for hooking and finishing

Students are asked to bring:

• We highly recommend you bring a lunch as this class does go over the lunch hour.

No experience needed. Hand dexterity needed for gripping hook and pulling loops.

Age Requirement
