Hooked on Hooking – Charlene & Debbie Miller

Maximum participants: 20

Rug hooking offers something for everyone.  

This 3-hour lecture/workshop will take participants through a journey from the early rugs like their grandmother’s made to the modern contemporary rugs people hook today. The lecture, with photos and actual examples; and a hands-on demonstration will include: 

• History and brief overview (with slides and real rugs) of Rug Hooking 
• The Tools of the Trade
• Wool and Yarn 
• Burlap, Linen, Monks Cloth and Rug Warp 
• Hooks and Frames 
• Patterns and Copyright 
• Colour and Values – simple tips and tricks 
• Using Technology to Enhance Rug Hooking 
• Finishing and Displaying 
• Questions and Answers are welcome throughout the lecture
• Hook a Proddy Flower 

The workshop will end with participants completing their own hooked Proddy Flower. The workshop should be ample time for folks to start the pin and written instructions should help them complete it at home.

Tickets are non-refundable except in limited circumstances as described in the Purchase Policy.
