Eric Sandberg
Athens, GA
(706) 353-0013
Updated class description!
Due to popular demand, Eric has graciously expanded the class
description for this class.
He has a great class prepared to teach us about Antique Primitive
Scrolls, and also welcomes Oriental patterns or any project that you
consider to be a color challenge.
Scrolls, like Oriental rugs, are all about color, and Eric will
once again dye wools in class creating his masterpiece colors.
The presentation on Antique Primitive Scrolls is an extension of
Eric's Orientals with a new lease on life. You will learn about the
different types of scrolls and hook your project in keeping with
tradition or make some new traditions of your own. Pearl McGowan and
Louise Zeiser (Heirloom Rug Patterns) have excellent scroll
motif patterns.
This class
welcomes any pattern, any size cut. When choosing a pattern, keep in mind that even
those designed to be hooked in a 3-cut may be hooked wider. Eric
can adjust the pattern to accommodate the size of the strip.
He will color plan your rug using your wools and adding some of his. |

Anita is excited to be back again in Green Lake and will again offer
an open class allowing the student to select a pattern of their
choice. Anita's style preference leans toward a # 6-9 cut using lots
of textures, plaids, over-dyed wools and antique paisley. Florals,
geometrics, wide-cut animals, folk art and antique style rugs are
great choices. She will cover lots of techniques, dyeing suggestions
and helpful hints during the week. Her class promises to encourage
the beginner as well as to challenge the seasoned hooker. Come join
her for a fun week of hooking and learning. Anita lives in Overland
Park, KS and has been teaching since 1997. She is McGown certified

FACES WORKSHOP
Not specifically a portrait class...this workshop is designed around
common principles that can be applied to hooking faces of all types
that are typically encountered in hooking - from small, almost
featureless representations, to the comic, to the challenge of a
self portrait (if you so choose).
You will all complete one small project on the first day that gives
everyone the opportunity to work in a similar scale with similar
limitations (kit for this project as well as all
handouts/instructions for the workshop covered by a materials fee).
Meeting the person who emerges from the pattern can be surprising!
During the remaining 3 days of the workshop there will be lectures
and demonstrations as well as lots of learning from each other.
Before the workshop you may select a pattern or you may bring a
pattern of your choice (one that includes a face of any proportion).
If you are adventurous you might consider doing a self portrait
(bring a photo). There will be wool available in a palette of
typical flesh tones.
