Workshop Week from In the Studio: October 26-30

We’ve all been enjoying the In the Studio talks that have been running on certain Wednesdays since May; Workshop Week is your chance to “play with” the five artists behind the In the Studio series. Of course, the classes will necessarily be online, Zoom. But this undoubtedly allows many to attend workshops they wouldn’t have been able to travel to and attend otherwise. It brings new meaning to the phrase about a door closing and 5 windows opening. Or something like that.

Descriptions of the five workshops are found by scrolling below. You’ll also notice there are some free bennies for folks who sign up for at least one class. We’ll be running an evening hook-in for all participants that Wednesday and a panel discussion to close the whole shindig out come Friday evening.

Please note that some classes will be creating waiting lists if they fill quickly. Also, popular classes will probably run again sometime in the new year, either under the auspices of another In the Studio Workshop Week or independently by a particular teacher.

If you have any questions, please contact the individual teacher or me at Laura@highonhooking.com, and I’ll forward your question to the appropriate person.

Hope to see you at our first Workshop Week!

Come to the Alt Fibers Hook-In October 14!

 

Been hoping to attend a hook-in?

 

Hooked rug
Up close and personal with “Autumn’s Coming.” The pumpkin is hooked using wool strips and yarn and recycled t-shirts. The background is primarily cotton batik. See it in the Etsy shop.

Between my workshop last month and social media chatter, it appears that many are interested in hooking fibers other than (or at least as well as) wool. Again, there’s nothing wrong with wool; in fact,  the current rug on my frame is hooked with wool strips and yarn. I will say that the latter allows for easier breathing given my wool dust allergy.

All this being so and seeing how everyone is missing HOOKING TOGETHER, I’m offering an Alt Fibers Hook-In on Wednesday, October 14, at 7:00 PM Eastern, which makes it 5:00 Mountain time, my time. Evening should be a little more relaxing, though, unfortunately, the event must be BYOB.

What you’ll need to bring to the Alt Fibers Hook-In:

  • A hook;
  • A hooking project;
  • Your “fun” fibers – and wool can come too;
  • Your beverage and snacks of choice; and
  • Enthusiasm, questions, tales (tall or not).

This is not a class, but a time for give and take with one another. A time to share what might have worked for you. A time to ask if anyone has experience with ______. A time to have some fun.

 

DETAILS

Hook-In will run WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 14, 7:00-9:00 PM Eastern.

Tynan invites you to the Alt Hook-In
Tynan invites you to the Alt Hook-In. He also presents this week’s “What’s on the Frame?” It’s a commission being done in wool strips and wool yarn. He apologizes for his summer absence from the blog. (As he calls me dirty names.)

Hook-in will be held online through Zoom. Upon registration and payment, the Zoom link and password will be sent via email.

There is a COST of $10 to help defray my Zoom account costs.

Hook-In will be limited to 20 people.

For more information or to register, please email me at Laura@highonhooking.com.

 

 

Both Tynan and I hope that you can come. (But don’t tell Bowyn!)
