CLASS SPOTLIGHT 🔦Optical Geometry in Log Cabin Variations | Maddy Fraioli | 3-day class
Students will explore ten (10) different log cabin variations including Courthouse Steps, Barn Raising, Fields and Furrows, Flying Geese, Bow Tie, Pinwheel, Half Log Cabin, Pineapple, and Sunshine and Shadow.

Students will choose their favorite four patterns on linen (9” x 9” each with 4” borders) which will be turned into hot pads when all four are completed. Various finishing techniques for the hot pads will be taught including fabric bias, knit, crochet, stitched, applique, and braided edges.

These studies will serve as samples for larger rugs which students may wish to hook in the future and for which paper templates will be provided. Students may bring their own wool. This is a great class to use up your #8 cut worms, so get sorting! There will be hand dyed wool available for purchase in the classroom as well.

CLASS SPOTLIGHT 🔦Let's Dye without Dye | Nancy Parcels | Evening class
During this evening of dye pot fun, students will use a tie dye technique with silk ties to transform recycled and new wool into one-of-a-kind colors and designs. The instructor will demonstrate how to harmonize the recycled wool and marry new wool into your rug projects for fun and sometimes unpredictable outcomes. As the wools process in the dye pots, Nancy will share several of her rugs that use these dye techniques and materials. There will be ample time for questions and answers.

CLASS SPOTLIGHT 🔦Introduction to Punch Needle Rug Hooking | Rebecca Martin | 1-day class
Have you been wanting to try punch needle rug hooking? This class is designed for you. In this one-day class you will learn all the basics of punch needle rug hooking using an Oxford FINE punch needle. We will go over all the needles in class, both fine and regular, and you will learn what projects work best for them.

You will see examples of the pattern punched with both the regular needles and the fine and see firsthand how a needle choice can influence a project. How to stretch monk’s cloth on a frame, kinds of frames, how to move a project on a frame, types of yarn, and different finishing options will all be covered while working on a whimsical gnome coaster set.

CLASS SPOTLIGHT 🔦Integrating Mixed Media into your Rug Hooking | Susan Feller | 1.5-day class
Students will meet one-on-one via Zoom with instructor prior to class to draw a design using digital tools. The instructor will work with each student individually to produce their original designs onto fabric. In the classroom, students will receive their fat quarter (approximately 18” x 22”) printed fabric designs along with hands-on instruction to create 3-D motifs (hooked or otherwise) along with construction, assembly, color planning, and problem solving for their project.

Students will learn a variety of digital design software and how to integrate current technology into a customized and personalized mixed media rug. Along with rug hooking, students may choose to include applique, embroidery, proddy, couching, and other forms of embellishment in their 3-D design motif. This class will inspire outside the box creativity!
