Make it Wild: Heart and Hands – The Art of Rug Hooking - Jackson

Make it Wild: Heart and Hands – The Art of Rug Hooking - Jackson
In this fun, live class, we will use a variety of textiles (wool, cotton, silk, and poly-blend) hooked onto a burlap backing from a pattern of your own design. We can explore flowers, landscapes, animals, and domestic scenes as subjects and stitch them into our patterns with a range of textures and tones. In this workshop, local artist Alissa Ehrenkranz will cover the elements of design, an introduction to color theory, textile characteristics, and how to plan a design to hook. You will leave with your project started and a plan for finishing it.
This class will take place from 6 – 8 p.m. on October 28, in the Museum Classroom.
Make it Wild courses are open to adults and young adults with beginner to intermediate abilities. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions during this interactive program.
