Punch Needle Rug Making with Hijinx Mixed Media
Thursday, Oct 3, 2024, 6:00pm to 8:00pm
Rugs for Your Mugs! A Rug Making Workshop
Join Juliet King of Hijinx Mixed Media to make your own one-of-a-kind rug coaster! This workshop will explore Juliet’s favorite form of fiber art–punch needle rug tufting. Juliet will provide background information and a demonstration of rug hand-punching method. Each participant will have a selection of yarns to work from with experienced artist Juliet King. Using the yarn, colors, and design provided, the goal is for each participant to come away from this workshop with experience in rug making with a punch method. You may choose to use a simple design provided or bring your own for more variety. Embroidery hoops and needles will be available to use during the workshop.
Things to consider when rug-making for you to think about in preparation and will be discussed at the workshop:
● Text is difficult, especially with small rugs
● Big & bold graphics work best
● Intricate detail will likely get lost
● Consider what kind of yarn is best for each project
● Is your rug for touching or just for looking?
This 2-hour workshop is ideal for intermediate to advanced crafters and is open to ages 16+.
Space is limited and registration is required. Both October workshops are the same content; please select just one to register for. Registration opens 2 weeks in advance (Sept. 19, 2024).
About the instructor:
Juliet (she/they) founded Hijinx Mixed Media as a way to spread joy and laughter through art. Using humor, my art aims to accessibly explore difficult topics like humanity's impact on the planet, loneliness and community, or reminders of death (memento mori). Navigating the world as a mixed race queer artist, I hope to encourage community, solidarity, and resistance. Learn more about Juliet's art at hijinxmixedmedia.com / IG & TikTok @hijinx.mixed
