Be the Neon Sheep: Rug Hooking
Advertisement
Are you a bit more colorful than the rest?
Or quietly different in a way that only you notice?
In this beginner-friendly rug hooking class, we’ll create an **8" square trivet** featuring a cozy cluster of sheep — with **one unmistakably neon sheep** nestled among the flock. Bright or subtle, bold or barely-there, that sheep gets to be *yours*.
You don’t have to be loud to stand out.
And you don’t have to stand out to belong.
We’ll walk through:
* Rug hooking basics (perfect for first-timers)
* Some more intermediate techniques for those who are curious
* Working simple shapes and fluffy textures
* Choosing colors that feel right for *you* — classic neutrals **or** a pop of neon
* Finishing a functional trivet you’ll actually use (or gift)
If being bright isn’t your thing, no worries — keep your palette soft and traditional.
If you’re craving a little glow? We’ve got that too.
This class is less about perfection and more about permission:
to be different, to be subtle, to be exactly as colorful as you want to be.
Come hook, laugh, and make something warm, useful, and quietly (or wildly) rebellious. 🐑✨
The link to sign up for this class will be available on the Local Cloth website soon. Please indicate interested or going so that you get notified once it is available.
The instructor for this class is Kirsten Bonanza
