Sunday Beginning Class

Beginning Rug Hooking Class


September 8th - Sunday Afternoon 1-4 pm
Introduction - Beginner


The class concentrates on technique.  It is so important to learn proper loop
formation, the foundation of all your projects to come.  Simple tips can
make the difference between higgly piggly loops and straight, uniform
ones.  Holding your hook properly dictates the neatness of your work as
well as saving your wrist from repetitive stress. 
In this class we concentrate on loop height and position. 
We practice straight and curvy lines and circles. 
Once you master these simple techniques you are ready to fly! 


During the class you can use our equipment such as scissors, hoops, frames and hooks.  You will need a project. There is a large selection of kits to choose
from or  you can select a pattern from our racks . 
We will colour plan the project and cut the wool. 

After I demonstrate each technique there will be a practice
period and once you are comfortable, then you will begin
hooking your project.  I hover over you for
the new few hours to make sure you stay on track.
 
While you work, I talk to you about
all aspects of rug hooking and recount funny, hooking related stories.  

Let's get you started!  Bring a sense of humour
because we love to laugh!   Coffee and Tea will be served.  


You will receive a handout to take away.  

Teaching Fee $30.00

Release your inner hooker!
