- This webinar was hosted by punch needle artist, Oxford-certified instructor, and founder of Punch Needle World, Micah Clasper-Torch. It was recorded on March 23rd, 2021.
Where did punch needle originate? How was it originally used? Why is it having a resurgence today?
As it turns out, there are actually 3 traditional forms of punch needle that inform our current understanding of the craft today, each with their own distinctly different origins and purpose. In this hour long webinar, Micah will walk you through the history of these three crafts, the various tools and materials used for each, and how modern interpretations have combined aspects of these historical crafts to create the exciting new techniques and styles that you see today.
Whether you are a new puncher looking to understand the difference in techniques to help you know where to begin, or you are an experienced puncher who is curious to learn more about the history of your craft -- this webinar will provide you a deeper level of insight into the fascinating world of punch needle!
I inherited my grandmother's circa 1950's rug punching project 2/3rd completed and I've been learning how to complete the project. I've set up the frame and am working on the project --I have the Columbia Minerva De Lux rug needle much like the oxford punch needle and the actual rug is a 36'' and 22'' Springfield rug. It is a semi circle with flowers.
Wow, how special to be completing a project that your grandmother started so long ago! The completed piece sounds like it will be a beautiful collaboration across generations of women in your family.
This was an excellent video on the history of punch needle. I started the craft about two years ago and had to conduct extensive research on the various styles. Bunka embroidery has been a challenge and I plan to go back to it later.
I was at Black Sheep this summer and bought my first punch needle, a hoop and some monk cloth. I am ecstatic about this new hobby. I just finished my first piece tonight and going to enter into our fair tomorrow. I bought a second oxford punch needle that arrived yesterday, a #10 to do the water in the scene. I want to write up a little bit of history for the fair so I found your video. Thank you so much for this video. I'm anxious to learn more. My project Iis wool and alpaca fiber from our farm. I spin and dye it. I also added silk, rose, and bamboo fibers to blend with my sheep and alpaca wool. I would post my rug picture but I don't know how. Thanks again.
I'm so glad to hear you are enjoying punch needle as a new hobby! You piece sounds beautiful, and I am so impressed that you spin and dye your own yarn. That really makes your work even more special. Congrats on entering it into the fair, and I'm glad that this video could help provide some additional history and context for the craft!
You can’t post on CZcams, but you can on other social media like Instagram and Facebook. Do you have either of those? I’m just getting started, so I’m curious to see your work. :)
I am just wondering if there are any specific qualities you look for in a yarn, say for a cushion or stool cover? I know you want wool for floor rugs, but how avoid other projects? I’m also speaking about the finish of the yarn, if there is a difference, like the twist for instance.
Hi Micah, I took a class from you on Donestika, and will like to know where else can I take classes from you.
Hi Ana! I see that you've already discovered Punch Needle Academy (www.punchneedleacademy) where I have another in-depth course on the foundations of punch needle rug hooking! I'm so thrilled that you took the Domestika class as well :) And thanks for watching this video!
punch needle has been aeound since 1880 or so
