Punch Needle Rug Hooking Workshop with Holly BerrySpend the day making a punch needle project for your home or gift giving!  Learn how to use a punch needle with colorful wool rug yarn to create many types of projects and heirlooms. This method of rug hooking, also known as the “New England Style” has been around for about 150 years. Following a pattern drawn on backing material (monks cloth), yarn is threaded through a punch needle, then poked through the backing. Loops of yarn formed on the front create the design. The end result is similar to traditional rug hooking. Holly will share samples of her work and that of others as an introduction.  She has many patterns to choose from to make an 8 x 8 wallhanging, mat or pillow top, or help you create your own design.

Creative Exploration Workshop Series:  Inspiration Sundays at Hope Orchard Linoleum Block Printing Workshop 
Sunday, September 16, 2018 ~ 9:30 am – 4:00 pm

$9Linoleum Block Printing Workshop5 includes all materials and delicious home-cooked lunch!
Limited to 10 participants

Hand-pulled prints are not reproductions as each impression is individually inked and printed from the same block or set of blocks which have first been designed and carved by the artist. The final design can be expressed in the areas cut away (negative) or on the remaining raised surface (positive) or in both.

Bring an idea or simple design to make a 4 x 6 or 5 x 5 image to carve and print from battleship linoleum. Holly will use her own work and that of others as an introduction and will help you problem solve each aspect of the process along the way.

Linoleum Cut Workshop

Saturday and Sunday, November 8 and 9, 2014
The Art Complex Museum
189 Alden Street, Duxbury, MA
Time: 10:00 am – 4:00 pm

Join Holly at The Art Complex Museum in Duxbury for a two day lino cut workshop.

Relief printing is the oldest, most direct and low tech method of making an impression on paper. Explore the unique properties and qualities of linoleum as your medium during this two day workshop. You will leave with the information you need to continue making prints on your own! All aspects of the block-printing process will be explored: design, transfer of design to block, cutting, inking, proofing, registration and printing by hand. There will be plenty of opportunity for creative decision making and experimentation along the way!

Holly will use examples of her own work and that of others to show various techniques of printing with color. These include the reduction method, use of key-block, multi-block, stencils and masks, white line approach and adding color by hand. Water-based, non- toxic inks will be used.

Day one: Concentration on cutting the block with emphasis on line quality and variety, creating visual texture, consideration of negative/positive relationships and concept of reversal.

Day two: Concentration on approaches to printing from the block; inking, proofing, paper preparation, registration, the making and signing of editions and storage of prints. Please bring a simple drawing, motif, design, doodle or photo to work with. Still life objects and reference material will be available for additional inspiration.

Holly’s print, “Leaving” is part of the Art Complex Museums permanent collection.

Materials supply list will be provided upon registration. Cost $175.To register for this class please email sally@artcomplex.org or call 781-923-6634 ext. 10
