Southern McGown Training - Day 2, Scroll Sampler

The second day the trainee workshop was a Scroll Sampler. Yesterday the accredited teachers had a choice of different tile pattern courses. Today their choices were all courses on patterns related to the home. All patterns taught are of course from the Honey Bee Hive Catalogue, which includes the McGown patterns
Jayne Nevins was the teacher of the Scroll course but due to changes in the dates of the training, she was unable to make it. Karen Krepps taught the course instead so we got the benefit of two teachers



This is Karen's sample. Jayne also provided a number of examples but as she wasn't here to
ask permission, I am not posting pictures of them.



Close ups make it easier to see the formation of the motifs.

All our "goodies", like the handout folder, Jayne provided, and were
scroll themed.

Book resources also provided by Jayne.

Karen taught on the large, multi scroll motif in the morning with discussion of direction, different types of scrolls, identification of the order to hook the elements of the scroll and colour planning. It is hooked with a dip dye.

What I got done in the morning.

In the afternoon we could continue with the large scroll or move on to the smaller one to be hooked with a swatch. I hooked the swatch one but forgot to take a picture of it. The combination of Jayne and Karen resulted in a very organized and resource rich class with lots of information and time to hook.
After dinner a hilarious auction was held with money going towards the Southern training.
