Eunice, a tousled winsome ewe, pauses to gaze inquisitively out of the barn door, hopeful, perhaps, for a visitor, or better yet a treat. A simple landscape can be viewed through the window opening behind her. Her unique personality will be developed by using richly colored wools, and directional hooking. A step by step lesson on how to hook the eyes will be presented, as well as tips on how to hook her body and how to complete the inside of the barn and the landscape scene.
Bring to class your rug hooking tools which should include your frame, hook, scissors, and your cutter (if you have one) with a #6 or # 8 wheel. A kit will be provided,and includes hand dyed wool, and the pattern of Eunice drawn on linen backing.
COST OF RUG HOOKING KIT IS INCLUDED IN CLASS FEE.
Biography:
Sue Charbonneau has been exploring the world of rug hooking for about 30 years. She has taken lessons from Vivily Powers, Jeanne Benjamin, Donna Swanson, Maggie Maclea, Jule Marie Smith and Elizabeth Black. Their help has been invaluable to her.
Sue says "In the beginning years, when I was a fine cut rug hooker, my passion was to make oriental style rugs. Once I was exposed to wide cut hooking, I fell in love with the personality, the touches of whimsy, the use of unusual color combinations, and the vast opportunities for expression this style of hooking provided. Now portraits, landscapes, geometrics, and old fashion florals appear on my frame. The sky, and it does not have to be blue, really is the limit."
