Beginning Rug Hooking Tuesdays, October 22, 29 / 6:30 – 7:45 pm / $25, plus $42 materials . What's the difference between Rug Hooking and Latch Hooking a rug? . LATCH HOOKING is done on a mesh backing with 1/4” wide square holes. Rug yarn is precut into 2 1/2” lengths. The yarn is knotted into each square of the mesh with a latch hook. This tool has a little hook with a catch at the end that makes it easy to knot the yarn. A shag effect is created because both ends of the yarn stick up forming a pile. . RUG HOOKING uses thick wool yarn or long strips of wool, often hand-dyed. The strips are pulled up from behind the backing material. There are no knots, no measuring, no counting, just the cozy process of creating a lovely piece of art. . You will begin with a kit to create the sweet posy piece pictured here. If you get "hooked," you could go on to create more detailed, intricate pieces like Mi Tree Home by Gayla Harmon, pictured here. . Learn this relaxing, folk art medium with accomplished fiber artist Gayla Harmon. Through demonstration and hands on work, this two day workshop will have you hooking your posy piece on day one. On day two, you will learn to finish the edges for display or mounting. Who knows…. you might just get hooked! Participants should bring a small pair of scissors. Everyone will receive a 6”x6” posy kit which includes: hand drawn pattern, hand dyed wool cloth strips, a rug hook, a color key, and hoop. PREREGISTRATION IS REQUIRED BY OCTOBER 1.

DID YOU KNOW... The lavender in our community garden was lovingly transported from our Bayliss building and transplanted here at our new location by Dianna Cole, Creative 360's long time teacher, volunteer, and supporter. More than 20 years ago, Dianna and a group of friends brought the lavender plants from a local farm and planted them in the gardens at front of the Bayliss building. She tended those plants through every season and continues to check in on them weekly. It was serendipitous that our new grounds have the perfect place to rehome these beauties! Click through the photos to see some of Dianna's tips and uses for lavender! #creative360midland #creative360mi

"JOY WAS NOT MADE TO BE A CRUMB" I went to our community garden this afternoon to take some photos and was struck by the beauty of growing things. Gardens. Community. Hope. Diversity. And it all reminded of this poem: Don’t Hesitate by Mary Oliver If you suddenly and unexpectedly feel joy, don’t hesitate. Give in to it. There are plenty of lives and whole towns destroyed or about to be. We are not wise, and not very often kind. And much can never be redeemed. Still, life has some possibility left. Perhaps this is its way of fighting back, that sometimes something happens better than all the riches or power in the world. It could be anything, but very likely you notice it in the instant when love begins. Anyway, that’s often the case. Anyway, whatever it is, don’t be afraid of its plenty. Joy is not made to be a crumb. #creative360 #creative360midland #artbuildsmidland #publicartsmidland

DID YOU KNOW… from 1912 to 1959 the Olympics included competition in the arts? Medals were awarded in the areas of painting, sculpture, architecture, literature and music.
