Teacher: Diane Phillips

Class description: Wondering what’s the deal with all the faces in hooked rugs lately? Lots of rug hookers have figured out that they are fun to hook. Come for the day and learn "About Faces". We’ll do a simple face and learn how to hook eyes, noses and mouths. We’ll discuss how to age a person and how to make them happy or sad. We will use glorious color that would make an Impressionist proud. You can make your women young or old, colorful or realistic. And we will do in all in a five hour class. Whether it is your first face or an expansion of your skill, come hook a strong woman. Each person will receive a 16" X 16" pattern and wool (of their choice) to complete their piece. You will see a slide show on faces and receive lots of handout materials to use in class and beyond. Bring your hook, frame, scissors and cutter. (5 hours of instruction per class)
