Summer-Hayrolls-mat

Description:  This is a small size mat, and you can get a good start on it during our class. It is a good way to learn a few mixed media techniques to add to a rug, and also a fun small landscape that you can personalize any way you like.

Molly usually uses a variety of cuts for this project, ranging from a 4-7 or so. She also uses some roving in the clouds, and sticks for the fence and some more roving to make the hayrolls.  Molly will provide all the materials needed for the mat, and in class we will learn the various techniques needed to incorporate them into hooking.

Complete instructions will be provided to take home so you can add some new ideas to future rugs. Molly’s hope is that you will take home some new ideas and techniques and have fun!

Teacher will contact students prior to class:  No

Bio:  Molly has been in love with creating art and objects from as early as she can remember. As a very young child weekly trips to the bead store were her favorite outing. Her mother was a knitter, so yarn stores were always on the list of places to stop too. Molly began doing needlework and weaving in her teens and started rug hooking in 1991. She is mainly self-taught, and loves to experiment and play with the medium, trying to push the limits of what can be done with it. 

Molly loves to hook sculptural forms and landscapes best. Her husband Bob, also an Art major in college has been a photographer for over 50 years, and has a huge stash of photos to draw upon for inspiration. Her sculptural pieces are mostly just from imagination. She has been teaching rug hooking and fiber art classes for more than ten years at such venues as: GMRHG Hooked in the Mountains Rug Show, VT, Habersham Rug School, NY, Mayflower Rug Guild, MA, and Finger Lakes Fiber Arts Guild, NY as well as regional studios and museums.
