| This is the pocket you will work on in Loretta's class! |
It may seem a tad early to be talking about these workshops, but we need to establish our head counts soon, as well as give the teachers time to contact/work with the attendees before class. Our registration deadline has been extended to July 26 - but registering now will ensure you get a spot!
To register, go to cobourghookin.blogspot.com and download a registration form. Not sure how to do that? Simply send us an email (cobourghookin@gmail.com) and we'll help you out.
One of the classes available is with Loretta Moore. She is based on the beautiful lake district north of Kingston, and has some fantastic fabrics and patterns for sale. Her website is: https://hookedonthelake.wordpress.com, and she writes a very popular blog, with lots of photos of projects.
Her class for Cobourg is a half day offering. It's called A JOURNEY INTO THE WORLD OF PRIMITIVES/WIDE CUT and will take place from 1:30-3:30 on Sept 30, all for the grand sum of $30! This means you can enjoy the hook-in in the morning, and hear both guest speakers, and THEN toddle off to your class - it's the best of both worlds!
The workshop description is:
Get a head start on the Christmas season as Loretta Moore shows you how to hook a pocket for Christmas greenery. It hooks up quickly, makes a great gift and is designed to be hung on a door. In the class you will explore what “primitive” rug hooking means by briefly looking at design, colour, cut size and fibres. Wide cut does not necessarily mean primitive but primitive often uses a wider cut. While the original was designed to be a pocket for greenery and hung on a door or a wall, it can also be enlarged by adding borders and made into a small pillow.
Materials Fee (extra) = $28 pattern on linen 21"x20", $50 wool uncut, $52 wool cut #8 & 6.
Here's Loretta's bio from our hook-in website:
I have been a rug hooker for about 22 years. I prefer the older more primitive style of rug hooking - more simplistic, naive designs and muted colours similar to rugs that might have been made at the turn of the last century.
I also teach primitive rug hooking, dyeing and design. My studio is stocked with a full range of supplies. Go to hookedonthelake.wordpress.com for a list of the events I participate in as well as classes I am teaching.
I am thrilled to be part of a wonderful, creative community of rug hookers and belong to the Rideau Valley Boots and Baskets and Ottawa Olde Forge rug hooking branches of the Ontario Hooking Craft Guild. I also belong to ATHA - the Association of Traditional Hooking Artists for which I am the regional rep for Ontario and Quebec.
Hope to see you there on Sept 30!
