Description:
What happens to the photos of your rugs, both those in progress and completed? Where are the photos you took with your phone so you’d remember forever those new friends and fun days attending rug camps and workshops? How about your thoughts and ideas about how you want to hook this rug and the next one? Where do you store the little lessons and ideas you pick up from others, where do you document the name and designer of your rug and of those who helped you to color plan and problem solve along the way? Why do you love to hook, when and where do you hook, why do you stop hooking from time to time? Do you want to keep and remember a fleeting inspiration? The solution is to keep a rug journal!!
In this workshop you will make and finish your own interactive rug journal and learn how to customize it for your own use and style. See examples of journals and learn how to use a journal for remembering, sharing, reference, and for inspiration. Journals can be simple or super-charged, small or large in a wide variety of styles and Shelley will get you started on a lifelong journey of remembering—capturing the memories of your rugs, your history, and your life as a rug hooker.
Bio:
Shelley Lencioni began rug hooking with Nancy Miller Quigley 22 years ago, after meeting her at the California State Fair hooked rug exhibit and demonstration. Shelley had an interest in rug hooking but was unable to find supplies at any craft stores, so she feels fortunate to have found such a highly-recognized and renowned teacher and supply studio in her area. Noticing Shelley’s immediate passion for rug hooking and her interest in learning all styles of rug hooking, Nancy taught to Shelley’s many interests and encouraged her to attend McGown Teachers Workshop. Shelley is a certified McGown teacher and a member of the Camellia City Rug Hooking Guild of Sacramento.
Shelley teaches locally and at McGown Teacher’s Western Workshop. Shelley teaches fine shading, wide cut and primitive hooking as well as color planning, dyeing in many styles, pattern design and all rug hooking interests. She has published an original design as the featured pattern in Rug Hooking Magazine, Ottoman Tulip. Shelley owns and operates both as an online store and the large shop on her property in Auburn, California. Her shop stocks a complete line of rug hooking equipment including an extensive line of patterns and kits, hand-dyed and as-is wool and so much more.
