Rug Hook Like Deanne Fitzpatrick (Zoom Workshop)

This 90-minute virtual workshop, has me solving the mystery for you of how Deanne Fitzpatrick hooks rugs. In contrast to more traditional hooking styles, Deanne:

  1. Uses multiple types of fibers and wool for her loops.
  2. Hand cuts most of her wool.
  3. Meanders over her pattern, rather than following a strict, precise line. I call it the "as the bee pollinates the flowers" path. :-)
  4. Draws a bare-bones pattern and may change it many times as she hooks. 
  5. Does not use a fancy hook or fancy backing fabric.
  6. Does not follow a specific color plan. She plans it as she goes.  

It happens this is how I hook, too. I have taught this class to experienced rug hookers and they all felt they learned from the workshop, and they could apply what they learned to their own hooking styles.

Three sessions are available (each are limited to 14 students):

  • Tuesday, January 28, 2025, 5:00pm - 6:30pm CT
  • Thursday, January 30, 2025, 11:00am - 12:30pm CT 
  • Sunday, February 2, 2025, 3:00pm - 4:30pm CT

More About
Jane M. Mason

As a small child, I started taking art classes at Joslyn Museum in Omaha. Every Saturday morning I was at the museum for a class. As a five-year-old, I won my first art contest and distinctly remember the drawing I had created being used on the cover of the spring catalog for Joslyn Museum. My childlike enthusiasm for art and happiness creating art is in my DNA now. It’s part of every piece of art I create.
