Hook a Hen Workshop with Jane Cook

Create your very own Trivet or wall hanging, choose your own colour palette, traditional hues or avant-garde, make a wider border to create a pad or seat cushion. Recycle your old clothes using the traditional technique of Rag Rugging. Hooking is a skill that allows you to up cycle old clothes, fabric scraps and yarns into a beautiful tactile piece of hand-crafted work. Once you have mastered the technique of hooking, we will look at fabrics and colour to produce a small wall hanging or trivet. Approximately 27cm x 20. Hooking can be time consuming, but you will leave with the skills necessary to fully complete your piece of work. This course is suitable for beginners however some knowledge of sewing and using textiles would be beneficial. Finishing off the project does require some hand sewing. Hessian, templates, hooks, and frames will be provided on the day but are not for sale.
