Thursday, October 19, 6 – 9 pm

Katie DeCosse

Traditional rug hooking involves pulling a thin strip of wool fabric or yarn up through a background fabric, generally a monk’s cloth or burlap-type fabric. Join us for this beginning level class to learn the basics of the process and of working with wool, while creating a 4″ square sample “mug rug” piece to take home. Come discover the joys of hooking with wool!

Materials fee is $20, payable to the instructor at the time of class, and includes everything you need to complete the project in class or at home.
