Instructor: Laura Salamy
Saturday: 9:00 am – 12:00 noon and 1:30 pm – 4:30 pm
Workshop description: Have leftover yarn in your house? Wondering what you might do with it? Perhaps you can “punch” with it! Students will learn how to use the punch needle to make a small project that can be hung on a wall or used as a mug rug. The basic skill set gained will allow students to move on to larger projects like table runners, pillows, and rugs with confidence. During the class students will transfer a simple pattern onto a cotton monks cloth backing, prepare materials, and begin punching a mug rug or wall hanging. We’ll also discuss various ways you might want to finish your rug after all the hooking is done.
Materials fee: $40.00 includes cotton rug backings, yarns needed to complete the class project, and LOTS of handouts. An Oxford punch needle and frame will be provided in class and can be purchased afterwards, if desired.
Student supply list: Students are to bring a small pair of scissors (embroidery). Students may bring yarn from home if they would like it evaluated for punching and/or include it in the class project.
Skill level: No experience is needed.
Max # of students: 10
