TEACHER: JANE STEELE is the owner of River House Rug Hooking Studio, Petite Riviere Bridge , NS. Jane studied textile marketing in England and worked with many European Mills supplying the UK garment industry. Moving to Nova Scotia in 2010, Jane started to plan a way to put her knowledge and love of colour, fabric and design into a business. She learned how to hook and quickly became “hooked”.
WORKSHOP: I have been hooking hat ladies for years. The idea came from my childhood when I was forever drawing ladies in hats - now it has become a bit of an obsession. I have hooked the Queen, a Princess, a fishwife, Miss Canadiana, Frida Kahlo, Carmen, rose bush lady, butterfly fascinator, cheerleader, punk, pumpkin head, pineapple head, Marie Antoinette, lollipop lady, Irish girl, sea queen, lighthouse lady, lobster lady, puzzled lady, jazz singer, headscarf lady, Bea's ugly hat, African lady, fish lady, flower girl, Lunenburg lady, winter lady, deco hat, etc and I've got loads of patterns drawn - queen bee, feather head, bird head, dolphin lady, Halloween lady, fortune teller, jewellery thief and so many more. I can design a custom pattern for you if you have an idea......or you can find your spirit animal and use that - mine was the butterfly, so I made that as a fascinator. My faces are very stylised and I think easy to hook! I will show you how to do everything from hooking to applique to felting to braiding to proddy - anything goes in this workshop and I think it will be a riot!
SUPPLIES My hat lady patterns on linen are mostly 12 x 21 inches at $50, and I will bring a big selection - also other sizes. If you want a custom design, please contact me directly. I am really looking forward to this workshop and seeing what you create! . You can use all sorts of decorations, applique, jewellery...bring your own embellishments if you have them. I will bring a huge selection of wool, alternative materials and decorations. PATTERN: Purchase from Jane $50.00.
