Practical Color Planning for Rug Hookers
Practical Color Planning is for everyone, beginners as well as experienced rug hookers. Several rug hooking teachers have enrolled. My methods are for every day use. It took me 20 years to figure out how to explain some of this stuff.
You can do this! You will learn only enough color theory so you can talk about color. The bulk of the course is about working with the wool and making your rugs come to life.
This is NOT a recurring fee, one time purchase, take as long as you need to get through the coursework. You have access to all future updates.
Virtual Dye Class
Virtual Dye Class. Learn the ins and outs of dyeing your own wool. This is not for everyone. It may seem cheaper to dye your own, but you have to buy all your mistakes as you learn. I’ll help you through the steep learning curve. My method will save you the cost of the expensive dye spoons. All you need are a set of regular measuring spoons.

IKEA Stool Cover Instructions and Downloadable Patterns
IKEA Stool Cover Instructions and Downloadable Patterns. Hands down the easiest way to learn the art of making a hooked footstool. The IKEA stool is very inexpensive and is a great way to start.
If you use 75″ rug warp, you can make 2 stools out of just 1 yard of backing! Several patterns are included. Make as many stools as you like!

Graphic
I use an app called Graphic on my ipad to design and plan out rugs. This course will teach you the tools I use to do that. Graphic can do a lot and this is not a full blown course on Graphic, but I will teach you everything you need to know to use the app as I do.
You will need to buy the app, and use your finger, a simple stylus or even better one of the Apple Pencils*. Be sure to buy the correct pencil for your model of ipad. This works on ipads ONLY. There is no Android edition.
This is NOT a recurring fee, one time purchase, take as long as you need to get through the coursework. You have access to all future updates. This is a brand new course with just a few lessons. More are being added. Yeah, you. You get a massive price break.
Virtual Online Workshops [VOW]
The Virtual Online Workshops are only available for enrollment a few times a year. Enrollment is offered to alumni first, then VIP Members of The Rug Hooking Journey, then Journey members before it gets offered to the public.
These lessons are individualized instruction. Classes are limited to 5 students only. The calls are Zoom calls where each student shares their progress since the last lesson and then asks whatever questions they have for the next part of their rug. Everyone hooks whatever their own project. You can start something new or get help with a rug that has you stuck.
This is NOT a recurring fee, one time purchase. There are no recordings available during the class or once the class is over. Enroll in the next session to continue on your project.
