TEACHER: CELIA CHARLTON I discovered rug hooking in 1997 and so began my love affair with wool. I love the idea of recycling
and repurposing clothing items and turning them into art. I do use some new wool but almost all of my work contains some thrift store treasures. My wool passion extends to spinning, needle felting, knitting and nuno felting, and my studio in Indian Harbour, NS provides a workspace and constant source of inspiration for me. I received my rug hooking teacher’s certification from the RHGNS Teachers Branch in 2003 and the NS Dept of Agriculture Judges Certificate in 2004. I have taught at Guild schools in Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador, Ragg Tyme School in Niagara, ON, and Reeth Rug School in England, as well as numerous classes and workshops in the Atlantic provinces and Ontario. My work has been displayed at a number of galleries and venues throughout the Maritimes. Favourite subjects to teach are geometrics, folk art, and mixed-cut pictorials
WORKSHOP: Hook your own personal plaid in your own colours and make into a bag to hold all your hooking tools. This plaid will
be uniquely yours. No two will be alike.
What you need to bring:
- there are 2 sizes, so your choice. Your backing should be 22”x14” for a finished size of 16”x8”. OR, a smaller version would be 20”x14” for a finished bag of 14”x8”. Choose an even weave. Linen or rug warp is best.
- Bring your cutter if you have one. There will be a cutter available. The size cut you use will be determined by your backing.
- Hook, scissors, frame
- 8 different coloured wools. Choose 3-4 in the same colour family (different values), with the rest contrasting colours. You may not need all eight colours. You should have about 1/4 yard of each colour.
- Ruler, coloured pencils, notebook, pencil, scotch tape.
- 1/4” graph paper if you have it. If not don’t worry, I will bring mine
