Join us for an introduction to the art of traditional rug hooking with this 8" x 16" scene. This class is suitable for beginners, but a little more challenging than the Quail Rug Hooking class in April, due to color value decisions the rug hooker must make. In this one-day class, you'll learn the basics of this timeless textile craft. All materials – including backings, wool strips, hook and frame will be provided, and no prior experience is necessary. Colors may vary. Class registration closes one month prior to the class in order to leave time to prepare materials.
