Creating Colour Relationships
Thursday, August 20, 2009
We rarely see colours in isolation. In this one day class we'll explore how shifts in hue, value, intensity, and temperature occur when two colours are hooked side-by-side. This workshop is for intermediate to advanced level rug hookers, or with permission from the instructor.

Hand Hooked Rugs: Up Close and Personal
April 6-7, 2010
This workshop focuses on the processes used to create highly textured hand hooked rugs. Textured rugs combine a range of fabrics, hues and values to create depth, contrast, and harmony. You will learn how to design for hooked rugs; select appropriate materials; and how to mix fabrics and hues to create a dynamic textured rug.
