Welcome to src designS

 

I hope you enjoy exploring my website.  I am an OHCG-certified rug hooking teacher, and the following pages provide information about a wide variety of courses I am available to teach, along with a portfolio of my work.  I am available to teach workshops and courses on a variety of genres, and happy to travel both sides of the border.  I am happy to develop courses on request, to design patterns, and can create kits as needed.

Rug hooking is a popular craft form, sharing many common skills with artists, photographers, quilters, weavers and knitters.  As with these artists and crafters, it is a process of continuous learning.

The rug hooking world welcomes people of all skill levels and interested in pursuing different areas of creativity and self-expression:

  • Design - you may be adventurous and decide you wish to design your own patterns, or you may be more comfortable purchasing patterns. 

  • Fibre - you may  wish to purchase hooking wool, or explore hand dyeing your own. You may wish to try yarn or alternative fibres

  • Genres - many genres exist for you to explore your self-expression:  geometric, landscape, portrait, architecture, wildlife, oriental and kilim, Canadiana or Americana, primitive or realistic - to name just a few!

  • Form - many forms are available - rugs, wall hangings, table toppers, cushions, purses and carpet bags, footstools, bedspreads

Rug hooking is a craft that lends itself both to experimentation and to combining skillsets from different crafts. Courses are available at every skill level through annual rug hooking schools, Guilds, or individual teachers. Vendors are available for any product you may need, either online, at schools, at hook-ins, or through teachers.  My Resources page includes Guild links which provide great information about annual shows, schools, hook-ins, teachers and vendors.
