Description: Add a playful element to your primitive rugs with proddy! We’ll explore its varied use for enhancement and embellishment in your hooking projects as grass, plants, flowers, and trees, or as animal fur and feathers. Proddy can be used in other projects too, such as fringe for pillows, clothing, and scarves. Kris will talk about proddy tools and teach you the basic techniques. 
Level: Basic – students must have basic rug hooking knowledge and experience. No prior proddy knowledge or experience is needed.
Students Need to Bring: Basic hooking supplies: a frame, scissors, cutter, cutter blades #8 or larger, and hook*, plus tape measure or ruler. (*Students should bring a primitive hook with a wide shaft, such as an 8 mm Hartman Hook or Ritchie Hook. Students may purchase this type of hook from the instructor on the day of class.)
