TEACHER:
Patsy Gorveatte
WORKSHOP:
In this 5-hour workshop you will do some hands-on finishing but to get us to that point, Patsy will review the various tools required to do the job. Patsy will also explain various styles that she has done or researched over the past few years. Her preferred method of choice is whipping over cording but there are so many other ways to make your work of art beautiful as displayed in her finished mat above.
Patsy will have the students either prepare a small 6 x 6-inch trivet size mat that you will finish in the workshop. The design is your choice, but Patsy will explain what size linen is required as well as the materials needed to bring with you for the day. If you prefer to work on finishing a different piece, contact Patsy before the workshop so she can discuss what you need to bring @ 902-476-4946
Patsy will bring some sample rugs for you to see how different types of finishes effect the overall look of the rug. She will also bring some reference books for you to look at. She has a very lengthy handout for you to take home and refer back to in future projects.
Maximum class size would be 15 in order for her to be able to help everyone fairly.
NEED TO BRING:
Bring a large blunt needle for whipping. Do not bring a sharp one for whipping. You can pick up the proper whipping needles at stores like Encompassing Designs. Also, a pair of scissors and a sewing needle. For the smaller project Patsy will provide the cording and tape for the back and/or felt depending on which method you choose to do. Call Patsy before the class to discuss. 902-476-4946
