Tiny Landscapes are inspired by the summer countryside, the sea, the autumn hills, the rocky coast. All the little glimpses of nature that you observe around you can be tiny landscapes.
It began for me about five summers ago when I wanted to hook small rugs because I was going to a small cottage for the weekends. I just wanted a project that I could pack and go.
I wanted to work small. I wanted immediate gratification.
The shape of a square appealed to me. It fit well into a frame. I could carry everything I needed with me in a small bag. The whole idea came about for practical reasons and then it started to bloom.
The blooming was so beautiful. I was watching something so small become so big.
As I finished one I quickly started another. I could start and finish one in a sitting and see the results so quickly. And the results were phenomenal to me because they were art. I had started out thinking a nice little craft project to pass the time but what emerged were these glimpses of place that called out to one another.
One was not enough. Tiny landscapes belonged together. And together they became art.
That summer I made 49.
I hung them in a seven by seven square on my studio wall and they looked stunning. It amazed me how you could take something so small and turn it into one large art piece. Someone came in a bought the whole collection. So I just kept making more because they were so beautiful.
I made them in all seasons, with all kinds of wools, and with hundreds of different designs. No two are ever alike.
I have made hundreds more since and with everyone of them I have learned.
Now I want to teach you.

Here is what people say about my courses:
“I cannot say enough good things about this course. Deanne has put together a new journey each month that is filled with videos and readings. Each month explores a different topic and it seems to alternate between developing the techniques of creativity with the mindset of creativity. It has been a true experience of growth in self confidence, perspective and technique.” Linda R.
“Deanne Fitzpatrick has done it again! She has created a fantastic online class for us; one that stretches, challenges, encourages and nurtures us as learning, growing artists. I highly recommend learning about hooking and art and life from her.” Lynn
“What a line up of videos and posts for this class! I have enjoyed it twice now and have yet to start my rug but I will get to it!! In the meantime I can use tips and techniques with so many of my other hooking projects. Lots to absorb and enjoy and the class is yours to keep forever! “xo Eileen
