Flock2Gether: Beginner Punch Needle Rug Hooking Class
Punch Needle Rug Hooking is a fabulously fun art form that gives instant gratification! In this make and take course, Oxford Certified Instructor Simone, will guide you through the basic skills for success with the fine Oxford Punch Needles. The project uses top quality materials, including gorgeous hand-dyed wool yarns, and the best backing which is pre-stretched into a wooden frame so it is ready to display once you've finished the punching! There are two designs to choose from, and a wide range of colour choices as well, so you can personalize your project to what suits you best. The punch needles may be borrowed during class and purchased after if you wish.
Note: the class fee includes access to our Flock Gathering event on the day of your class. You can add another day’s access for only $15!
