In this workshop, students are encouraged to hook one of their mother’s favorite sayings (or another family member’s) – such as
            “Come in when the street lights come on!”
            “You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar!”
            “Don’t judge a book by its cover!”

The skills learned will be hooking lettering, and designing a motif and background that matches the saying, and finishing the piece into a cushion (optional).

Students Need to Bring: Basic rug hooking supplies. 

Bio: 

I have been hooking for about 20 years, and teaching since 2019. While I enjoy teaching Open Class, my favorite workshops include realistic animals, carpetbags, and geometric rugs. I am certified by the Ontario Hooking Craft Guild, and currently working towards my McGown certification. I love teaching color planning and design. I am passionate about learning and take several workshops a year to make sure that I can offer instruction in many hooking styles. During Covid, I adapted my teaching style and now offer workshops on line as well as in person.
