What is the plan for the course:

Each week I will post the articles and videos about the topic. It will be self directed,
you can go online at anytime and look at the course materials, read, watch and learn.

The assignments and tips and ideas will be there for you to carry out through the week.

In our online learning community you can post pictures and stories about your
progress which I will read and comment directly on.

You will be given a password for the weekly lesson and the online learning community.

You will need:

a computer that allows you to watch video and basic computer skills
a camera so you can share your images if you wish
an email address to receive information
rug hook, frame, pattern and backing, and a selection
of wool in a variety of textures.
You can purchase a course materials package
( texture pack) on line as an add on
to the course if you wish, but remember shipping
can take up to two weeks to the states.

The texture packs will be suited to the projects in the course you have registered for.

a few hours each week to spend on your hooking and assignments

detailed posts each week about the topic at hand with

video each week explaining the section with close ups

photo tutorials about the ideas discussed in the post

an assignment for you to complete that will help
integrate your learning on the weeks topic

a section of tips and ideas for the weeks topic

inspiration and ideas about rug hooking, creativity, and art

emailing each other directly

if you both agree to share your email address with someone else.

I will not be working with people privately and independently
in this course but as part of the community.

I will be viewing all the images, comments and notes that are posting and
offering comprehensive, honest feedback as much as possible.

from the course, through skype.

Do I have to show my work and complete the assignments?

That is completely up to you. You can just follow along quietly if you prefer,
or you can participate a lot in the community and the assignments.

I work on an adult learning model , understanding that the easier
we make it for people to learn at different times, in their own ways, the more they can learn.

Do I have to be available at a certain time?

No, because we are working in so many different time zones
the course will be available to you when your schedule permits.

I would encourage you to check in several times a week to keep yourself
updated. We will leave the material up for four weeks after the course is over for you to review.

You can sign up here by clicking on the add to cart button and going through online checkout

If you have more questions you can email me at info@hookingrugs.com

Please note I have added an optional textured wool package for the
course to the online shop if you want it because people asked for it.

You purchase the texture package and we will design it for the Wild with Style Course.

You can work with your own materials or purchase any kit or pattern to work along with on this course.

I am designing it for independent study so you choose the project you want to work on.
If you want the textured package or supplies from the course please order
it early so you will have it in time, thanks so much.

 

What People Say About My Online Courses:

“Based on my experience with Deanne’s first online
course in February, I can recommend her as a teacher.
She communicates openly both in her written and spoken words.
Her explanations of “the what to do – why to do – and how to
do” via her videos, her writings, her photos of the work,
are clear, very helpful and motivating. In addition,
those online members who respond and ask questions
have also added to my learning experience.
This is a worthwhile 5 week opportunity in which you are
encouraged and guided to go at your own pace.”

“Thanks so much Deanne. I have thoroughly enjoyed
your writings , videos etc. In a previous time
I taught painting and it was incredible when a person
realized they could produce art  when they always said,
“I have no artistic talent.” I have thoroughly enjoyed
your class and all the lessons and I keep
going back and reading everything over and over”
“I wish I could bottle this feeling and sell it because
I would be a rich woman.
Wow, do you ever inspire a person.”
“Great Workshop Deanne,
so much info and ideas. these lesssons have been really packed.

I wanted to say if anyone is thinking of signing up for Deanne’s online course  do it!
As anyone who’s taken a course with
Deanne knows, she is a great and generous yeacher who brings alot
of experience, imagination, and , always,
creativity to her courses. Getting Wild with Wool is no exception.
I found the course chock full of information and inspiration
with many different avenues of learning. And best of all
was the communication with other participants
from all over the world. It just made me so proud. Maile in Seattle
