| Descriptions
of Special Workshops available at Cat House Rugs:
*Plaid/Sculpting
Workshop - Learn plaid and sculpting in this two-day
workshop. You will make a 14" square pillow with a sculpted
holly or pumpkin design in the center surrounded by a plaid border.
You'll have plenty of time to finish this piece before the holidays!
*Fine
Shading of a Rose - The shaded rose is a 10" square
pattern. You will learn the art of color and contrast to
create a 3 dimensional effect in hooking.
*Dye
Class is a one day workshop limited to four students.
You'll learn to dye wool for your rug in the Cat House dye kitchen.
Bring your own wool or buy the wool at our studio.
*Proddy
Class - Learn to apply “proddy” to your hooked
pieces, adding a three-dimensional effect. In fact entire rugs
can be made using proddy, once you learn the technique. There
is a good article in the November/December 2005 Rug Hooking Magazine
about this style, and it is quickly gaining popularity because
it is fun and easy to do. Prodded rugs can be completed in a fraction
of time that it takes to traditionally hook the rug. Sign up now
for this great workshop!
*Intro to Rug Hooking is a two hour lecture and
demonstration on the basics of rug hooking. You will attempt
hooking on a very small sample piece. This basic irtroduction
class is repeated monthly.
*Sculpting Workshop is a two day workshop to
learn the technique of sculpting wool into your rug. Bring
your piece to life in 3-D, similar to the old Waldoboro rugs of
Maine.
