Rug Hooking : From collage to Garment


Students are invited to bring paper ephemera (printed items, photocopies, personal sketches) that will be collaged into a design that will then be transposed onto a garment pattern. I suggest a waistcoat for which I will supply a pattern as the size is manageable. 

This course is suitable for beginners as well as seasoned hookers, all skills required to make hand hooked rugs, including demonstration of how to deconstruct used garments for use, will be covered. Students are invited to bring used garments that will be taken apart and stripped up to include in their work and/or to share with class. Favored fabrics have a substantial portion of wool, ranging from 85-100%. All supplies will be provided for the class, those who have frames, hooks, and repurposed cloth to use and share are encouraged to bring them.
