Students will learn how to use the punch needle to make a small project that can be hung on a wall or used as a “mug rug.” The basic skill set gained will allow students to move on to larger projects like table runners, pillows, and rugs with confidence.

During the class, students will:

• transfer a simple pattern onto a cotton, monk’s cloth backing;

• prepare materials; and

• begin punching a mug rug or wall-hanging.

We’ll also discuss various ways you might want to finish your rug after all the hooking is done.

SKILL LEVEL: No experience is necessary; just come prepared to play with all the colors!

WHAT TO BRING: Small pair of scissors.

If you have your own rug hooking/punch needle supplies, bring them and we'll evaluate them. Students can also contact instructor ahead of time to discuss items they may already have.

MATERIALS INCLUDED: Lots of yarn; woven fabric backing; examples of punch needle and other rug hooking art; all materials needed to get students' designs on backing fabric; resource materials; frames, punch needles; lots of handouts; in short, everything needed for this class.

MATERIALS FEE: $35 payable to the instructor.
