So here is the story. I have a beautiful workshop studio in back of my shop that is just not getting used enough and I want to see it brought to life every Thursday. We would like to invite you to join us for our weekly Studio Hooking group. I spoke to the Tuesday Night group that I go to and many agreed that our community needs a day time rug hooking group.
I have been thinking about it for quite a while. I also thought that if some of you are travelling through you might like to come hook for a while on Tuesday. It will give you a day that you know there is something going on at the studio and another reason to visit. Perhaps you cannot make it every week, but you can make it once a month, or even once a year. This will be an open group with everyone welcome to come hook for the day.
I just want to see our back space used well and people enjoying it.
There is no fee but we will collect $2 from each person for the local food bank. Come whenever you can.
If you are local and would like to be a regular or semi regular member come and join us.
Come Bring your Rug Hooking, or Your Wool Fibre Art and join us:
at Deanne Fitzpatrick Studio
33 Church Street
for our Weekly Hook In Every Thursday
Starting 10am, bring a brown bag lunch if you like.
Call 660-3220 or email us at info@hookingrugs.com for more Info

Wish I could join you in your shop, but Kentucky is just too far from you. I have a small studio on my farm where I paint with acrylics and oils and wool. I remember, as a little girl, my grandmother, mother and aunts hooking rugs every chance they got. I try to hook in the early mornings before work and weekends. I love it too!

This is a great idea. Just learned about it today. I would like to come sometimes with my spinning wheel and join the fun. Hoping for next week. I guess I will switch my grocery day from Monday to Thursday and do all my Amherst errands at once!

Nan, I don’t think we’ll really be skyping the group! We are just going to have a hook in. You guys will have to come!

I second the Skype idea – let the rest of the world sit in on the Amherst rug hooking group – then we’ll be a Global Group!
(To do that you will need to set up a ‘conference call’-type set up on Skype or some other VOIP Deanne.)

Amy, that would be so great. You could drop by for the morning. That is the idea of this group to have visitors and an extra reason to come to the studio.
