Mid-Maine Regional Adult Community Education

Would you like to learn the art of North American rug hooking in an easy going, relaxed environment that encourages modern interpretations? You will make one of your choice from the instructor’s 6" x 6" patterns. The Adult Ed secretary will be in touch by email prior to class to note your pattern preference which are available on our website. The titles of the artwork are Maine Mountains, Hippie Bus, Peace on Earth, and Shaker Heart. The session will include an introduction to hooking including some history of the craft, an overview of styles, how to choose hooking wools and other materials, tools, a few rules, tips and tricks, and getting started on the projects. Finishing instructions will also be demonstrated! Materials Fee $85 cash or check at the beginning of class and includes: hook, 12" hoop, 6" x 6" pattern hand drawn on high quality rug warp, all wool needed to complete the pattern, printed instructions, ongoing access to the instructor for questions after class. Please bring a bag lunch, as we will break about noon for a short indoor picnic. Storm make up will March 29; please reserve this date on your calendar when you register--just in case we have a spring snowstorm. Limit 10 students.
