Introduction to Rug Hooking Basics

Learn the basics in rug hooking by completing a small coaster. Joyce MacDonald will talk about backing, materials to hook with and finishing. Patterns will be on linen and hooked with wool yarn.  Two designs will be available. A square coaster that will help you practise pulling those loops and a round sheep coaster with the cutest little sheep face. The goal would be to have a finished hooked piece by the end of the session. Don't worry if you are not able to get the piece completed hooked in our allotted time, I will provide the final finishing details to you if required. As a good friend advised me,  " Life's short, enjoy good wool!”

Participants will have the option of borrowing a hoop/frame and hook from Joyce, or bringing their own. Please register with the appropriate ticket type so you have the equipment you need. Material kits will be provided by Joyce for a $25 fee, payable to Joyce on the day of the workshop.
