About

You'll get an overview of traditional rug-hooking history and hear about different types of hooks, backings, frames, fibers, and cutters. 

After a short demonstration of hooking techniques, you'll get assistance to hook a small 5 inch by 7 inch mat from a kit containing linen backing, hand-dyed wool strips and a hook. Different fibers will be available to use in honoring the history of recycling when it comes to traditional rug-hooking roots in the Northeast Canadian provinces and New England states.

Several different simple finishing options will be demonstrated, as will the transfer of a pattern to backing. You'll gain the basic knowledge of traditional rug hooking.

Details

  • A $70 materials fee, included in the cost of the class, covers a hoop, pattern on linen backing, cut wool strips, and a beginner hook.
  • You need to bring embroidery scissors.

Class Policies

Ages 14 and up are welcome.
