The Ageless Creativity and Intuition Bundle pairs two of Deanne's most popular courses, Ageless Creativity and Hooking Intuitively, into one package. In Ageless Creativity, you'll 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. In Hooking Intuitively, you'll claim your intuition and let it guide you through sketching a design and manifesting it into a completed rug, and learn to read the natural deep knowledge stored inside you.
These courses have been newly revamped for delivery on the Tevello course platform and will be available on your My Account page after purchase.
Full details on these two courses are available below.
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.

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.
Rug Hooking IntuitivelyIf you learn to build your creative intuition you can make better rugs. And I can teach you how to build your intuition for rug hooking. It is what I use to make beautiful nature inspired rugs.
This three part live and recorded course will help you unlock the creative intuition deep inside you and let it move through your hands.
In this class, I show you how to claim your intuition and let it guide you through sketching a design and manifesting it into a completed rug. Along the way you will see how intuition can lead to crushing failures and stunning successes, and learn to read the natural deep knowledge stored inside you.
There will be lessons on:
Intuitive drawing and pattern making
Trusting your own judgement in choosing texture, line and colour.
Accessing and trusting your own deep knowledge.
Learning to see what is in front of you that can improve your rugs.
Distinguishing between experience and intuition for rug hooking.
Moving away from literal interpretations of nature and exploring the art of rug hooking.
Hooking in all directions and exploring the use of lines in rug hooking.
Getting quiet with the wool so you can listen to your own intuition.
