Summer Arts

2012, Week 6: August 13-17

Rug Hooking

Explore the idea of adapting stained glass to our craft of rug hooking. The techniques and tricks of using mottled wool will be taught so that the students will produce textile pieces to mimic the illusion of real glass. Designing, colour planning, and finishing will be discussed with two dye demonstrations. The instruction this week will allow the students to develop their individual Stained Glass Rug Hooking projects from start to finish. A basic knowledge of rug hooking is necessary. Materials may be purchased from the instructor.

Laura Bosormeny has been rug hooking since 1974. She is a teacher by training who moved from teaching children to adults in 1977. She is a certified Ontario Rug Hooking Craft Guild teacher and she earned her Fibre Arts Certificate in Traditional Rug Hooking in 1992.

She continues to take courses to enhance her knowledge and she has published several articles in Rug Hooking magazine, receiving the People's choice Award for Helio's Harvest in Celebrations XVII.
