About the class
Dating back to pioneer times, rug hooking recycles common materials into utilitarian objects for the home. During this one-day workshop you’ll get a taste of this traditional technique that allows you to create beautiful textile art pieces. Students will sample various materials and methods that can be used to create rugs, tapestries, and pillow covers. Materials fee includes 10”x10” hemmed linen, strips of wool and various materials, and a wood handled hook.
Please share any special considerations (medical, physical, learning) that will help your instructor make your class accessible and accommodating for you. You can share these considerations when register or by emailing Sean at sean@sonomacommunitycenter.org.
