Weekend Rug-Hooking Class in December



What a fun way for rug hookers to spend a weekend! It is always fun to explore new creative avenues with fellow fiber fans! In Snapshots, you will learn to create a pictoral piece using a mix of wool noodles, yarn, silk, roving and various other fibers from start to finish. Impressionistic styling lets you imply the details while conveying the ambiance of the scene. You will learn to analyze your photo to find the bones that become the structure of your finished piece. We will build on that using directional hooking techniques developing a foreground, mid-ground, horizon line, and sky. Color planning, outlining, and perspective will be discussed. Sunday we will discuss how to finish and display the piece. Discussion on framing options will also be offered.
