SOLD OUT: February 1st & 20TH 2021 Zoom Classes Are Now Full - Reality is Not All It's Cracked Up to Be: Playing with Abstract & Non-Objective Design in Rug Hooking***
In this class, you will learn about abstract and non-objective design. For example, did you know that you don't have to "see things" in an abstract work?
We'll play with composition, shape and colour to design and create a 6x6" abstract or non-objective mat of your own. Space is limited, so register early.
