Over the last three years I have been developing this course about aging and creativity and I want to share the beauty of this journey with you.
We will explore this idea with artists, writers and of course rug hookers as we embrace our age and our own personal creativity story.
This course is a course about your own creativity, your own self exploration and mapping out your own creative journey.
I will share with you several different rugs through out the course. Several of these will be self portraits and others will be more explorations of personal creativity and story telling. The goal of this course is to help you embrace the beauty of creativity as you age, and use your own depth and your own story to make dramatic personal rugs filled with meaning.
It is not a project course. There is no pattern or project that I will guide you through step by step. It is a course about creative self exploration, creative joy and wellness. It is meant to help us embrace our creativity more fully as we age using self expression and self portraiture in rug hooking.

Can’t Draw? It does not matter. You will still be able to design great rugs with the skills I teach you.
What materials will I need?
You do not need any specific materials. You can hook on any project that you want. If you want to create a new rug for the course I would suggest: a sketch book, rug backing such as burlap or linen, pencils, a ruler, black sharpie markers, an additional coloured sharpie marker, and your rug hooking supplies and wool cloth and yarn to create a design that is meaningful for you.

Here is what people say about my other courses:
Review by Patricia D...This class like all the others Deanne teaches is a gift for me in creativity. The depth of knowledge given in the class will guide you through many years of rug hooking. I am always amazed at Deanne’s ability to encourage her students to grow and stretch, try new techniques, but most of all to give each of us the confidence to be creative in our own way. I can not say enough about how much she always makes me believe in my own ability to create beauty in my rugs. In addition this particular class is one you will refer to over many years for continued guidance.
