We were sixteen people full of wonder and AWE as we saw a slide show of the textile art and rug hooking that Karen Kaiser brought to our group today. Hooking like an Aussie involves, some wool fabric but also alot of recycled materials.
After this inspirational talk of Karen's experiences we played with Aboriginal symbols from Australia and put our own stamp on it and IT WAS AMAZING!!!!
The scope of colours were extreme and Karen brought us some of her beautiful dyed wool to buy and oogle. We also used t-shirts, bathing suits, cording , roving and fabric.There was also a course upstairs of sewing and different textiles and they came down to do a little shopping as well.
Of course no day goes without alot of good food. We had a potluck lunch and Karen provided us with some yummy cheese scones, YUM!!!!
We had such a great day and learned alot. See some photos below!!!!
