Betty Kerr is a certified McGown instructor for hooked rugs and has been teaching for over 25 years. If you have been in the RiverArts gallery at 315 High Street in Chestertown recently, you have seen her beautiful creations on the wall.
Through RiverArts, Betty is now offering a series of three workshops for beginners. In the end, you will have your own 38” by 28” Grandma’s Rug.
Classes will be held in Betty’s lovely studio right outside of Chestertown, on three consecutive Mondays: April 1, 8, and 15. Sessions will go from 10 am to 3 pm, and all students are asked to bring a bagged lunch. Betty will provide tea.
Class fee is $70.00 for RiverArts members and $80.00 for nonmembers. This covers all three sessions and the rug kit, instructions, and hook. Students are asked to bring their own wool fabric (not yarn) salvaged or store bought, and an 18” quilting frame. If you don’t have either, frames and wool can be purchased from Betty at her studio.
Maximum class size is 6 so each student will receive personal attention. This means space will fill up fast, so register today! Go to www.chestertownriverarts.org and download and complete the class registration form, call RiverArts at 410 778 6300, or email us at [email protected].
