  Traditional Newfoundland Geometric Mats with Joan Foster

  
  In this twelve-hour workshop, we will explore some of the traditional geometric patterns commonly found in this province - inch mat, hit or miss blocks, broken glass, log cabin and others. You may bring your own pattern already prepared, purchase one from the instructor or design your geometric rug in class and learn the proper way to draw it on the backing. Color planning and how to use the color wheel will be discussed. Bring your own materials or yarns or order in advance from the instructor. No drawing skills required however, a basic knowledge of rug hooking is a prerequisite. Lots of pre-class consultation with your instructor is available at gjfoster@xplornet.ca.
