MEREDITH — The League of New Hampshire Craftsmen Meredith Fine Craft Gallery invites the community to discover the craft of rug hooking with League juried artist Pam Bartlett. The four-week class will be held at The Woolen Pear in Loudon. Class sessions are 10 a.m.-noon, or 6-8 p.m., weekly Wednesday, Jan. 29-Feb 19.
In the class, students will learn the basics of rug hooking to complete a 12-inch by 12-inch project. The project can be finished as a wall hanging, chair pad, or pillow, in a choice of available colors. Bartlett will teach proper form and technique, the history of the craft and the different styles of rug hooking, how to design and color plan a project, and how to care for the finished product.
Materials include a hook, pattern, and colored wool. Students need to bring a small pair of scissors and a 12-inch, quilting-type hoop. Hoops are available for purchase at The Woolen Pear. Tuition is $155. The class will be held at The Woolen Pear at Brookside Mall, 563 Route 106 in Loudon.
Space is limited and pre-registration is required. To register, email nhcraft@metrocast.net, call 603-279-7920, or visit the gallery at 279 Daniel Webster Highway. For more details, visit meredith.nhcrafts.org/classes or facebook.com/nhcraft.
