We have a special class for kids ages 9 to 13 using equipment just their size! They will draw (or transfer) their design to monks cloth, put the cloth on a punch needle frame, and punch their own design to fit in an embroidery hoop and hang on their wall. A fun time will be had by all!
Intro to Rug Hooking. Rug Hooking is a uniquely American craft born of necessity for rugs and heavy bed coverings and now as a fun and creative craft. Strips of wool fabric and yarn are hooked in a background of Scottish Linen. The result can be a beautiful floor rug or a wall hanging! In this class, our result will be a square about the size of a hot pad. Students will choose from several available designs. All the tools and supplies will be provided.
