Join us on board for hands-on, interactive art cruises along the canal!
Fiber Arts Workshops:
Starting this Wednesday June 26 @ 4pm on Sam Patch, we have a knowledgeable and engaging fiber artist on board to guide you through how to make a Wool Applique Penny Rug. Join us to learn how to hand-stitch this wool penny rug. It could be used as a mug rug, a candle mat or whatever you choose. Penny rugs are believed to have started in the 1800s during the Civil War. Penny rugs got their famous name due to crafters using pennies as a template for measuring the top layer of circles. Source: The History of Penny Rugs
Wool, thread, needle and instructions will be provided. While on board the boat, you will learn the basics to get started making this wool penny rug and then take your kit home to complete. Just bring a small pair of scissors to snip threads. All aboard!!
Instructor: Tammy Ruiz
