Being the Neon Sheep - Rug Hooking Trivet Workshop

Are you a bit more colorful than the rest? Or quietly different in a way that only you notice?

In this beginner-friendly rug hooking class, we’ll create an **8" square trivet** featuring a cozy cluster of sheep — with **one unmistakably neon sheep** nestled among the flock. Bright or subtle, bold or barely-there, that sheep gets to be *yours*.

You don’t have to be loud to stand out. And you don’t have to stand out to belong.

We’ll walk through:

* Rug hooking basics (perfect for first-timers)

* Some more intermediate techniques for those who are curious

* Working simple shapes and fluffy textures

* Choosing colors that feel right for *you* — classic neutrals **or** a pop of neon

* Finishing a functional trivet you’ll actually use (or gift)

If being bright isn’t your thing, no worries — keep your palette soft and traditional. If you’re craving a little glow? We’ve got that too.

This class is less about perfection and more about permission: to be different, to be subtle, to be exactly as colorful as you want to be.

Come hook, laugh, and make something warm, useful, and quietly (or wildly) rebellious. ✨
