William Morris: A Designer for All Time
"Have nothing in your home which you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful".
William Morris’ decorating philosophy can be summarized in one word “simplicity”. We will be hooking Morris designs and learn about his time and place through story and music. You may create a design or purchase it from a rug hooking studio or on line. In my student letter to you I will include a list of “copy free books” as well as colour suggestions. A little knowledge of shading will be helpful, however we will be hooking only a few values of each beautiful hue. Any fabric and cut from 3 to 10 may be used, this is determined by the intricacy of the design and the weave of the backing. Join me for a fun filled course, a lot of learning and sharing.
Doris Norman is a skilled artisan and instructor since 1982, she enjoys sharing her passion for rug hooking with others.
