Where do you teach?
I have been teaching for 3 years and have enjoyed a variety of experiences. I have had small beginner workshops in my home, a 4-week workshop in a local community centre and am now co-teaching with Elaine Copeman in her
fabulous new studio in her home.
What do you teach?
I have done beginner workshops as well as open classes. The open classes have been great, because I am exposed to many different kinds of projects in one group. I have also had the pleasure of working with hookers of all different levels and experience. The learning opportunities from the different projects are amazing.
What is your favourite thing to teach?
Everything I have taught so far has been very rewarding. I have really enjoyed the variety. I really like smaller projects that allow people to have the same learning, but are finished more quickly for that feeling of gratification.
Do you offer workshops?
Yes. I’ve done several workshops with my Jeanius Bags as well as a few Colour Planning workshops. My class at Trent this year was called “1,2 hook a few” and was designed to let students make a couple of projects in one week.
How far are you willing to travel to do a workshop?
So far, I’ve travelled mostly around the province to other OHCG groups or other schools. I am happy to travel throughout the province, enjoying the hospitality of other groups.
Would I like to go further afield as well? You bet!
What do you like best about teaching?
My favourite thing about teaching is the learning. I find every teaching occasion, whether an evening class or a weekend workshop provides learning opportunities galore – for the students and for me. I especially love what I learn from them. If each and every rug teaches us something,
a class full of rugs will teach us even more.
What is your favourite tip to share with your students?
Experiment with your hooking. Try different styles and colours and subjects and cuts. The more you try, the more you will learn. And it’s fun finding out what appeals to you.
