Would you like to carry our rug hooking kits?

We are looking for stores and teachers who want to sell rug hooking kits in their community. We know that rug hooking adds beauty and creativity to people's lives. So many times I have heard from people that rug hooking changed them. 

As they started rug hooking, they began to see the world differently and started noticing beauty all around. Hooking rugs allowed them to express themselves, to use their time wisely and opened up a whole new community of people to them.

Rug hooking is full of possibilities. It has transformed my life, and been a powerful force in changing the lives of the people I have met through it over these thirty years. It has made me who I am. I started out as a therapist, thinking that was how I would spend my life helping people but rug hooking found me and helped me find myself. I have learned that craft and handmade can totally change the way you view the world and how you feel about it. I believe that I have helped as many people by teaching them how to hook rugs and to embrace their own creativity as I would have as a therapist. My style of rug hooking, with its meditative qualities and its freedom from rules, adds beauty to our world and is therapeutic on its own. It is joyful, powerful and transformative, which is not about being perfect. It is about creating beauty everyday.
