Online Rug Hooking Courses
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.
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.
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!
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.
Pencil Pouch Purse
Pencil Pouch Purse. No sewing in zippers or other fancy sewing. Just hook and attach. I will show you how step by step with videos.
Get creative and create your own expression of art!
Order your pencil pouches ASAP. You never know when they will no longer be available.
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.
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.
I added how to design your own labels with this course.
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 just once a year starting in Jan 2023. 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. Each session is limited to 5 students only. You can reserve the times that work for you in advance. 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 (or their next rug1).
You can start something new or get help with a rug that has you stuck. You can ask for help with anything I teach, dyeing, pattern design, using Graphic or Notion apps, finishing, technique. Works for beginners and those that are more advanced and want to study different hooking styles or subject matter.
I meet you where you are. One session might have someone who is still shopping for a frame, while in that same meeting is someone who is polishing up their piece for submission to Celebrations.
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.
