Looking to learn rug hooking or punch needle rug hooking this year? If you’re in or plan to be in New Mexico in the fall, you’re in luck.

 

While High on Hooking is happy to give private lessons pretty much any time, we’re now announcing that we’ll be teaching at two fall fiber events:

• HEART OF NM FIBER & ART GATHERING – LEARN PUNCH NEEDLE RUG HOOKING
  –September 3/4, 2022
  -At the Wildlife West Nature Park in Edgewood.
  -There will be vendors, workshops, live animals, and demonstrations.
  -Workshops haven’t been scheduled just yet, so check back on their website or contact me directly to take part.

 

• MOUNTAIN AND VALLEY WOOL FESTIVAL (previously known as the Taos Wool Festival)
  –October 1/2, 2022  This is perfect if you’re planning to come to New Mexico for Balloon Fiesta!
  -Santa Fe County Fair Grounds, Santa Fe
  -There will be vendors, a fiber critter corner (live animals), demonstrations, live music, and food! Workshops aren’t scheduled just yet, but check back on the website.
  -We’ll be teaching both rug hooking and punch needle rug hooking.

 

In the meantime, in a couple of weeks, High on Hooking is headed to Sewanee, Tennessee, to teach at the SHAKERAG WORKSHOPS starting June 18. I believe that there are still openings for workshops, so take a peak if you’re looking to learn something new or just enjoy an adult-only, creative summer camp. My own class still has room for one or two more.More info HERE.

We’ve been so busy here that it’s been a while since I’ve shared what’s on my frame. Clearly, that peeves the boys who are always on the lookout for a job that provides them a treat or eight. So, here they are. And, yes, Bowyn is hiding much of the piece. More on it later.

 

In the past couple of months, we started a fun, new series of hooked art: The Cocktail Series. So far we’ve finished two pieces: the “Margarita” and “le vin, la vie.” I’ve got more drinks in mind and will intersperse them between other larger projects. And stitching and crocheting projects as well, of course. Why do just one thing when you can fill your summer up with all kinds of fiber fun?

 

What are your summer plans??? I hope they include a bunch of fiber projects and at least a few margaritas.
