Our Mission:

Date: Morning – Saturday, August 18, 2012 – 9:00 – 11:00 a.m. As well as being a hooker of rugs, Trish is a quilter and photographer. This will be a slideshow presentation but Trish will bring along a selection of both her rugs and quilts. Some of the art quilts are based on the same subject matter as her hooked rugs, creating a unique opportunity to see a design in two textile mediums. Bio: The first time Trish remembers seeing a hooked rug was in 1972. As a student, she accompanied her grandmother on the train to New Brunswick, for reading week. During the trip, her Aunt Eliza was hooking a rug of a sailing ship and Trish spent a lot of reading week hooking in the sky for her. About 18 years and three children later, Trish bought a kit from Rittermere-Hurst-Field and hooked her first rug -- pink roses on a black background. Self-taught until 1998, she then joined the Georgetown Rug Hooking Guild and took beginner’s shading from Shirley Lyons -- twice! Trish likes to hook pictorial rugs – landscapes of the places important to her and her family’s history, frequently including text and lately adding people. She usually designs her own patterns, mostly from her own photographs. She dyes most of her own wool, always dyeing the skies, and is an avid collector and user of recycled wool, which she buys at Goodwill. Five of Trish’s rugs have been selected for Celebration of Hand-Hooked Rugs; My Grandmother’s Diary: Machias Seal Island, Tea and Oranges, Culley’s Cottage (2nd prize Readers’ Choice Award), Chris and Blackie: Summer of 1977, and Memories of Oak Point (Readers’ Choice Award). Memories of Oak Point also won the People’s Choice Award in the Traditional Category at Sauder Village and the Rowan Award at the annual meeting of the Ontario Hooking Craft Guild. Born in Sudbury, Ontario, Trish graduated from the University of Toronto where she studied English Literature and Art History. Later she graduated from the Ontario College of Art, where she studied photography. Currently living in Toronto with her husband, a bad dog, and two cats; she is the mother of four children -- the youngest one left for university this year -- and a granddaughter. Specialties: Impressionistic landscapes and seascapes which include text, people and animals. A storyteller through her hooked rugs, who incorporates a variety of cuts in any one piece from #2 to #8.
