Two-Day Workshop: Saturday, April 13 and Sunday, April 14

Course Description: Learn basic rug hooking, pulling colored loops of yarn or fabric through a stiff woven base, and simple ways of finishing. Rug hooking began as a scrap-bag alternative to carpets found in wealthy homes. Now it is a fine art, valued for its color and texture. Start a small project to finish at home. Although you will use a pre-printed pattern in this workshop, you will learn the skills needed to create or adapt your own. All levels welcome. Instructor: Stephanie Allen-Krauss

This Workshop meets and takes place at: Loring-Greenough House, 12 South St., Jamaica Plain
