Join rug hooker Deanne Fitzpatrick and author Sheree Fitch for a magical session on telling stories through hooked rugs.
There are few who understand people and human nature better than the story teller. I have asked renowned story teller and author Sheree Fitch to join me to create a magical workshop about hooking people and telling personal stories through your rugs.
This workshop will begin with practical lessons on hooking people into your rugs. Together, Sheree and I will guide you in taking your thoughts, pictures and ideas, and teach you the art of storytelling through your rugs. This is the workshop so many people have asked for, where you can bring the picture or idea you have been saving and turn it into a rug. The rug you create can be of any subject, with or without people; a person, a place, a memory, a dream, an idea. We will interpret, imagine, inspire and create as we help you develop your own ideas and turn your story into art.
This is a workshop about rug hooking, creativity, and personal stories; playing with them, and bringing out their beauty. You do not need a lot of design or drawing experience for this workshop. We will guide you through this creative process into the next level of rug hooking, telling stories and making art.
Sheree Fitch is a much loved and admired author and speaker wrote her first book of nonsense verse, Toes in my nose, for her two year old son Jordan when she was twenty. After many rejections and rewrites, the book was published when she was thirty. Illustrated by celebrated Canadian female war artist, Molly Lamb Bobak and launched in 1987 by Doubleday Canada, Toes was a Canadian best seller. Two years later, Sleeping Dragons All Around, illustrated by Michele Nidenoff, published by Doubleday Canada, was released. An interview by Peter Gzowski on Morningside brought Fitch's words to a national audience. Sleeping Dragons All Around won the Atlantic Bookseller's Choice Awards in 1990 and the hearts of a generation of readers. Often described as a much loved Canadian “classic, a 20th anniversary edition of Sleeping Dragons All Around was published in 2009 by Nimbus.
