We hosted a fantastic workshop yesterday (yes, an in-person one!), on creating a Living Wall. This is a project that mimics the wonderful living walls of plants you often see in public spaces (and some lucky homes)….but without the hassle of watering and caring for the plants (my kinda thing).
The teacher for the class is the wonderful and talented Wendie Scott Davis who trekked to Grace Church with samples and bags of goodies (wool and chocolate) to share. She inspired us with photos and videos and more.
She’s a very hands on teacher and we all learned a lot, and developed a new-found appreciation for things like Proddy and quillies.
Here are the samples that Wendie brought. They are even more wonderful when seen in person.
The attendees represented the spectrum of rug hookers - from new-ish hookers, to several very experienced ones - there were 15 of us. Everyone arrived with bags and boxes full of stash….and we barely put a dent in it!
Here are some samples of works in progress. (Dang: i didn’t get photos of everyone’s work!) Can’t wait to see the finished items!
A BIG thank you to Dianne, Christine and Iris for organizing this affair!
