In this class, students will learn how to hook on an 10" x 11" mat with a William Morris design. William Morris was a weaver, illuminator, typographer, and designer of stained glass, tiles, furniture, tapestries and carpets. The fiber world knows Morris as a designer of fabrics and has adapted his designs in quilts, embroideries, appliques, and rug hooking. From lush botanical designs to Alhambra arabesques, each rug conveys an ageless beauty. We will be doing one of Morris’s lush floral designs. The kit will include the pattern, a hook and all the wool needed to complete the mat.

Rug Hooking a Padula: a 4-Week Rug Hooking Series with Joyce Krueger

4 day series on Consecutive Saturdays in 2022:

January 15 (9-1) January 22 (9-4), January 29 (9-4), and February 5 (9-4)

Rug hooking started on the east coast of North America, from Labrador, Canada down to the Carolina’s. Popular for at least the past 200 years, rug hooking has spread across the United States, Canada and many other countries. Today, rug hookers are exploring new materials and new techniques. This experimentation, combined with knowledge and respect for the past, allows rug hooking to be primitive or modern with rug hookers creating stunning pieces of art. 

Rug hooking is both an art form and a craft where rugs are made by pulling loops of fabric through a woven backing such as monks’ cloth, linen or rug warp. Wool fabric, that has been dyed and cut into strips, is used when making a rug or mat. A tool called a hook is used to pull the fabric strips through the backing to make a loop. Together, all of these loops make a rug. 

In the series of classes, students will start with a kit that includes a pre-designed mat, then students will design and hook their own mat in later classes. By having four classes over four weeks, students can hook between classes.

  • First Class: January 15 (9-1) Students will learn ‘how to hook’ on a 9” x 9" mat with a Padula motif. A Padula is a simple flower. The kit will include the pattern, a hook and all the wool needed to complete the mat. 

  • Second Class: January 22 (9-4), Students will continue to hook the Padula mat. We will also discuss designing and color planning one’s own mat. 

  • Third Class: January 29 (9-4) Students will draw their own design for an 18” x 18" mat/wall hanging/pillow and transfer the design to the backing. We will also decide what colors to use. 

  • Fourth Class: February 5 (9-4) Joyce will have wool for students to start the mat/wall hanging/pillow they designed. Students will also learn to cut all the wool needed for their project.
