Description: Do you have rugs that are just waiting for that 'Finishing Touch'? Let's see how creative we can be! In the morning session Alice will demonstrate a number of finishing techniques: rug tape, wool binding, a proddy edge, braiding, whipping with wool strips, a corded wool edge, and more. Students will be 'hands-on' practicing each of the techniques. In the afternoon, you will finish a small mat that Alice hooked for you to finish your way! As a little bonus -- you will also learn how to finish a pillow with proddy! Get ready to have fun so you can add a neat finish to all those great rugs you hook!
Feel free to bring a hooked rug to class that is ready for finishing and binding, if you would like suggestions on how to proceed! Alice will have rug binding, proddy tools, cotton cord and some funky yarns, etc. for sale, if needed.
Kit description: Foundation fabric with hooked areas for you to create your own Finishing Sampler, binding tape, wool, cotton cording, yarns, etc. for binding techniques, buttonhole thread, and a 7" x 7" hooked mat (steamed & surged) ready for you to finish in your favorite technique.

Her "England Memory Rug", a Keith Kemmer design based on places they visited, was published in Pictorial Hooked Rugs by Jane Halliwell Green.
and at various shows and hook-ins. She has done shows for 30 years, from being a doll maker to now, selling her hand-dyed wool and frames. She gives beginning rug hooking and proddy classes in her home studio. She designed a purse pattern to learn various hooking techniques and stitches, hooking into wool, and finishing techniques.
