Hooker Hill Rug Retreat 2022
Teachers
Laurie Wiles
I am a McGown certified teacher and have been hooking for over 20 years. I currently hook in Edmonton, Alberta where I am the learning and development officer for our local guild. I have instructed students in Canada, the US, Mexico and Iceland. I have had work in Celebrations magazine and published several articles for Rug Hooking Magazine and the ATHA Magazine. Several of my rugs have won awards and the Royal Museum of Alberta has purchased one of my pieces. I completed a month long stay in Iceland as an artist in residence in 2016. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced rug hooker I will enjoy having you in my class. I love all aspects of hooking from design to finishing and I’m comfortable with both wide and narrow cuts of all subjects. Animals and self designed pieces are my favorite things to teach.
