Do you want to spend a beautiful winter weekend with me hooking rugs and drinking tea?

Are you up for a cozy adventure?

I am!

Life demands a lot of us. It is important to renew ourselves and our creativity by taking time out to make and to feed our spirit.

I have created Renew:An Online Winter Rug Hooking Retreat. Live!!! for us.  On February 24 and 25 we'll be getting together for a cozy online retreat to hook rugs, listen, learn and grow together.

Join me for an inspirational weekend of mini workshops, a selection of very special speakers and guests, and a community of fellow rug hookers for a transformative experience all in the cozy comfort of your own home.

What better way to beat the winter blues than engaging your creative side and doing a bit of self-care in the process. Put on a pot of tea and enjoy presentations from guests like Amy Oxford, Alexandrya Eaton, Lucy Richard, and Hayley Perry, and Remi Levesque.

Indulge your creative spirit and warm up for a winter weekend with me and my special guests where we will immerse ourselves and you in a private little world of creativity and rug hooking.

Creative Workshops: We are going to have a series of talks and mini workshops where we will teach technique, texture, creativity and design so that you can go deep into your rug hooking and expand your experience and your ideas. You will be spending the weekend live in the studio with me and my friends.

Inspiring Speakers: We'll connect you with rug hooking teachers and fellow members of the rug hooking community for inspiring talks and conversation as we share stories, tips, and technique through out our winter weekend together. We are going to ignite your passion for rug hooking and creativity.

Community Connection: There are people who share your love for rug hooking and want to connect with you. We'll engage, discuss, imagine, create new ideas and plan new rugs, plus we'll do all that while we hook together over the weekend.

Prizes and Surprises: I love surprises and I know you do. I want to make the weekend full of beauty and excitement and one way to do that is with fabulous prizes. I am thinking them up already and we'll be giving away some amazing gifts.

Make a Memory:  I have participated in several online retreats over the years. I book the time out just for me and I make myself present to learn. There is a do not disturb sign on me! on those weekends, lol! I get lost in learning and creativity and I create a wonderful lasting memory for myself and I leave inspired. I want Renew to do this for you.

You don't want to miss the chance to spend the weekend with me and hook. I am bringing in some fantastic guests, beautiful prizes and some amazing rug hookers for a weekend of connection, beauty, friendship and yes, some joy and inspiration too. We are going to pack it with fun, learning, cozy comfort, prizes, community and inspiration. If this retreat were a bucket it would be over flowing!

Add on: Exclusive kit just for the retreat!

What if I am not available that weekend?

We are recording everything so even if you have to run out unexpectedly Angela will record all the events and we will make them available toy you.

How do I access the retreat?

The retreat will be hosted on Zoom. We will email you a link a few days before it starts. On Saturday Morning when the retreat begins you click the link and join on your computer. If you have any trouble you can call us or email us and we will have someone help you get on. 

How much does it cost?

The cost for the weekend is $397 Canadian (approximately $279 US depending on the exchange)

What if I cannot afford to pay for it all at once?

We want you to come. Just call the studio and talk to Terry and we will make it so that you can pay in two or three payments.

Is the retreat right for me if I am new rug hooker or a beginner?

This retreat is designed for all rug hookers and whatever level you are at you will learn a lot and get the inspiration you need. We are designing the classes so they will make sense for beginners and for people who have hooked for years.

Will I learn anything in this retreat if I have taken lots of courses from you?

Yes you will! For sure. The retreat is not a course, it is a time to restore, and spend time together and grow. I am always learning, always reading, taking courses, growing myself so that I can be a better teacher. I always come ready to bring new ideas and thoughts to rug hooking. It is a craft and an art that grows and I grow with it. I want you to grow with it too. 

Is there a kit for this retreat?

You can use your own supplies for the retreat. We will be offering one of the six designs that are included as a kit but it is completely optional and just for those who want it.. You can work on anything you like during the retreat!

Do I have to order a bunch of supplies to take part in the retreat?

We always want to send you new supplies but honestly the retreat is designed for you to work from your stash, and with the supplies you have. So no! You do not have to order any supplies but if you want to we will happily fill your order.

Do I have to design my own rug?

No, you can hook anything during this class that you want to hook. I will though be teaching some great design techniques for you to use.
