June 2017 class date coming soon. Reserve a spot!
“Creative Shading’ is a new workshop by Susan Grant which will be taught in the studio. Susan will teach different ways to multi-swatch where you incorporate more than one colour swatch in a flower or leaf. You will also learn how to work with dip dyed or casserole dyed wool; as well, you will examine concepts such as the Ives colour wheel and ideas of how to integrate your work. These techniques will be applied to a contemporary pattern using a #6 cut. The class will include the pattern and the wool for the “Carrie Runner” 14″ x 24″ pictured here. The prerequisite for this course is basic experience with swatches and shading techniques. If you have taken the introduction to shading course with Susan or any other teacher you have the requirements for this workshop. Susan will also do a quick review of those techniques used in the piece.
This workshop will be taught by Susan Grant who is a talented, award winning rug hooker. In recent years including 2016, her rugs have been featured in “Celebrations” magazine. Her attention to detail and the study of various rug hooking techniques over the years have allowed her to develop her superb talent for creating breathtakingly beautiful rugs. As a retired school teacher, she is well organized, thorough and detail oriented. The runner “Carrie” designed by Sarah Skrlj, pictured here was hooked by Susan Grant. You are required to bring to class a hoop, hook which is suitable for a #6 cut, scissors and a lunch. Coffee/tea and dessert will be provided.
