Punch needle rug hooking is a fun and addictive method of rug hooking that is rapidly gaining in popularity! In this workshop, students will create a lovely 8" punched trivet or chair pad. There is something for everyone with nearly 20 different patterns to choose from. We will cover topics such as design, materials, proper use of a punch needle, plus special tricks and techniques plus an easy finishing method. We will even take a tour of the Little Red Mitten to look at all the beautiful fibres that can be used for punching!  Class size is small to allow for plenty of individual attention.
