This years project was the Shape of Things, where we concentrated on geometrics and patterns. Students had three different choices from Karen, Nola & myself, extra pieces brought for inspiration, or they could do their own thing. Everyone designed their own piece, and started hooking. Mini classes were taught throughout the weekend, show and tell, a journal project on Thursday evening, and a hook-in on Saturday, along with a presentation on purses and bags. Over all, a packed full, filled weekend.
Before and after - getting ready and setting up before students arrive. Plenty of wool and other goodies to entice everyone.
My rug where I combined needle felted pennies with rug hooking. The bag used Nola's patterns to do wool applique.
These are Karen's rugs & pillow. Using her unique touch to make them look antique.
Nola did 2 rugs, one inspired by an antique rug she has, the other using a wide range materials like bread bags, netting, yarn, etc - so creative!
