Darla Prince has been hooking for five years and has been working at Deanne Fitzpatrick Studio for four years. She is taking the DFS Teachers Course this fall. Darla has hooked many of Deanne's patterns and knows the studio way.

Come join us for an afternoon where you will learn how to hook this sweet DFS pattern of Arms Wide Open. Darla will teach you:

• how to create movement in the sky
• the secrets to using bold colours to create highlights and shadows
  
• hooking a person
  
• what to outline
• creating depth in your rug

This workshop includes a complete kit on linen, tea, oatcakes and instruction, and a beautiful afternoon at Deannes Studio. Deanne will likely be around to help pour the tea!

You just need to bring your hook and frame.

COMING SOON: You can also pre order a frame for your completed hooked rug and pick it up at the studio.
