Eric Sandberg
Athens, GA.

Eric is an exceptional teacher when it comes to truly understanding color. Whether you pattern choice is very complex or very simple, Eric can guide you to extraordinary results.

This is an open class and Eric 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. Be sure to bring your snarl bag!

Eric will once again dye wools in class creating his masterpiece colors.



 




Anita White
Overland Park, KS

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  covers 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 and is the assistant director of the South Central Teacher's workshop.

Anita has a new BLOG!

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.
