One Day (Saturday) plus Five Hour (Sunday) Workshop with Davey DeGraff
An Introduction to Hooking a Landscape Davey Mace DeGraff
In a just a few short hours this workshop will cover some of the very basics of hooking a rural landscape in a painterly style. Each student will be given a small pattern on linen that will include a building, a tree, a field, hills and sky. Using smaller cuts and some yarns, you will be shown how I hook each element and then you can spend some time hooking yours. The goal is to at least start each motif and then be able to finish it later.
Students will need to bring their own hooking supplies* including wool in the colors that please them. I prefer to work on these small pieces using a 6 cut and spot dyed wools. You can work with the colors and the wool you prefer bearing in mind the size of the landscape you’ll be given. I will also bring some wool and some of my work as examples.
*Bring frame, hook, scissors and cutter, if you have one.
