Kathie Meyers, a McGown Certified teacher, has developed a foolproof, logical and

reliable method to attach braided borders to hooked rugs. Owner of Woolen Rooster,

a Rug Hooking Store in Newnan, Georgia, and author of "Simple Braided Borders for

Hooked Rugs," Kathie will share her secrets for the perfect braided finish. In this two-

day class, learn how to make a braid to attach to a small round rug measuring six-inches

across. Then go one step further and learn to attach a braid-to-braid for the second

row on the same small rug. After learning these techniques on this small piece, you will

be able to braid around any size or shape of rug! Choose one of the five hooking

patterns provided, design your own six inch pattern, or just hook a plain six inch circle

using your favorite wools. Class also includes a small doorknob wreath to learn a picot

edge. Set your rugs apart with this beautiful technique! Cost: $160 includes braiding

supplies and rental of braid stand

Hook-In

The Dogwood Chapter of ATHA is pleased to invite you to the Atlanta area for a whole lotta hookin’! Come for the day or the week, explore our rug hooking heritage and experience some true southern hospitality.

The Gwinnett Environmental & Heritage Center is a It is conveniently reached from either interstate 85 or 985 and only a few minutes from the Mall of Georgia, where shopping,

restaurants and hotels are plentiful. It’s the perfect place for a rug hooking respite! Physical Address: 2020 Clean Water Drive, Buford GA, 30519 GPS Device Address: 1510 Plunketts Road, Buford GA, 30519

state-of-the-art facility bursting with stunning nature views and 8 miles of walking trails.

Hooking since 1984, Gail Dufresne is the national ATHA president, a McGown certified

teacher and regular contributor to Rug Hooking Magazine. Gail is the Celebrations VII

award winner and a past Celebrations judge. She believes the easiest way to learn

how to use color is to study and work with geometric designs. Since there are no

preconceived notions of what color any certain geometric form must be (must all

circles be orange?), the student can abandon the usual color stereotypes he or she

may possess and concentrate on playing with color to achieve the desired results.

Use a pre-printed pattern, design one of your own, or use a pattern from Gail; it's your

choice. Gail can also help you custom design your own pattern using one of hers as a

base. She loves to work with textures, is open to using mixed media and her free-

wheeling approach to dyeing will loosen up your preconceived notions. Learn more

about Gail in her recent book "Geometric Hooked Rugs" or on her website

www.goathilldesigns.com. Cost: $240

Eric Sandberg (Open Project Class) May 21-23, 2012

Eric has been rug hooking for 20 years, being certified as

a McGown teacher in 1997 and teaching full time since

2000. He is a master colorist and adept at hooking all

styles from narrow cut, fine-shaded flowers to wide-cut

primitives. Eric includes many interesting and

informative lessons throughout the workshop such as

color planning, oriental rug terminology, geometrics and

of course, dyeing. He likes to work with the student's

wool augmented with his own or he will custom dye for

your project. 2012 is a busy year for Eric as he teaches

across the country at Yellow Rose of Texas, Cambria Pines

and the McGown Maryland Shores, just to name a few.

Eric's extensive knowledge and his great sense of humor

make his class informative as well as fun! Cost: $200

Pris Buttler (Klimt Inspired Design) May 29-30, 2012

An experienced and gifted graphic and folk artist, Pris now splits her time

between the world of fine art and rug hooking. She has been teaching since

1999 and has won many awards from Celebrations to Sauder Village. Pris has

also authored several dye formula and lettering books as well as designed her

own book of patterns. For this workshop, a kit will be provided with pattern,

some wools and embellishments to create a fun and exciting project that will

make a wonderful mat or pillow. It will contain an original Pris Buttler design

created exclusively for this workshop after the artist Gustav Klimt and will

tickle your fancy in the world of abstract geometrics. This is a wild and woolly

workshop! Cost: $210 includes pattern and some wools/embellishments

Class pattern will resemble this design, but not be this exact pattern.
