About the Workshop
Join us for a fun and informative two-day rug hooking class with instructor Debbie, who brings over a decade of experience in this traditional fiber art. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn the proper technique of rug hooking—from how to pull loops and work with different types of wool, to understanding backing materials, frame options, and hooking tools.
You’ll also learn how to transfer a pattern from a drawing to backing material and explore the finishing techniques that bring a project together. By the end of class, you’ll leave with a project that is complete or nearly finished, along with the skills and confidence to keep hooking on your own. Whether you’re brand new to rug hooking or looking to refine your technique, this class offers a welcoming space to learn something new. We hope you’ll join us!
