Hooked on Handwork is not a “how-to” book. It is the ultimate “I can do it” book! Kathleen is a teacher and photographer. She teaches rug hooking and preschool music and has acted as photographer for several textile and weaving books. She was inspired to write this book by her rug hooking students. Many of them leave her classes with a completed or nearly completed project and they are almost always enthusiastic about doing another hooked piece. They understand the hooking process and are confident in their ability to hook. But so many of them think they cannot design. Kathleen is sure that is wrong. Her mantra is that we can design our own hooked pieces by paying attention to what is around us and what captures our attention. For this book, she chose both brand new rug hookers and masters of their craft to show how other fiber arts can inspire our designs. The delightful rugs in this book will give new and experienced designers a new way to look at the textile art around them. Such simple ideas will urge you to put marker to backing and will inspire the reader to create personal rugs that will be treasured for generations. Be sure to get yourself a copy of this one for your rug hooking bookshelf!

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. As a rug hooking teacher specializing in teaching beginners, Kathleen Eckhaus' frustration at the end of her beginner classes is that many students lack confidence to design their own rugs. Most leave the class with total self-assurance in the rug hooking process, but do not think they have the artistic ability to come up with their own patterns. For most of them, their next project is one that is already drawn on the linen by someone else. Kathleen is adamant that it doesn't need to be that way! This book is not a "how-to" volume; it is a book filled with examples of hooked pieces that are inspired by other art forms. It is the perfect gift for a beginning rug hooker-but let's not stop there! It is a reminder to all of us that we are constantly influenced and inspired by our surroundings. The author reminds us to keep our eyes and minds open-if you do, you will be amazed at the ideas you will find for your next hooked rug. N° de réf. du vendeur 00101858948
