Introduction to Traditional Rug Hooking (workshop)
With this class, we welcome a new teacher to the Creative Yarns family. Jane Bridgeman will be teaching traditional rug hooking technique to small group classes. Jane is part of the new wave of the rug-hooking craft, merging traditional techniques with modern materials and aesthetics to focus on creative expression. A true fibre artist, Jane is thrilled to be sharing her love of the craft, and has put together a wonderful introductory workshop that will allow anyone to try rug-hooking with minimal investment. There has been a tremendous amount of interest in this workshop, so we have scheduled three separate sessions, to accommodate as many of you as possible.
