Rug Hooking

Prescott Hoops and Hooks meet twice a month to hook rugs. Rug hooking is easy to learn and relaxing to do. We work with burlap, wool strips, and a hook. We hold the wool strips under the burlap, and pull up loops with the hook. Anyone in the group will show you how it’s done and in five minutes get you started on a lifetime hobby. We make rugs, wall hangings, coasters, and other decorative objects. We hook for three hours, with coffee, treats and conversation to sustain us. Membership in Prescott Hoops and Hooks is $5 a year

Hardanger

Hardanger is a form of embroidery traditionally worked with white thread on white even-weave cloth, using counted-thread and drawn-thread techniques. It is sometimes called white work embroidery.

Bunka

Bunka is a form of Japanese embroidery originating around the turn of the 20th century. Bunka artists use a specialized embroidery needle and rayon threads to create very detailed pictures that resemble oil paintings. Unlike some other forms of embroidery, bunka is fragile and is usually presented as artwork rather than as clothing adornment. Bunka has gained in popularity since the advent of numbered kits, which provide a step-by-step guide to producing artwork. The Bunka Babes will be happy to get you started on your first project.
