TEACHER: Heather Gordon: heatheronbluerocks@gmail.com I was lucky to have taken my first hooking course with the legendary Jeanne Field in 1976. After a wide range of courses with Jeanne and other Ontario Guild teachers and many years at NS and NL rug schools, I still enjoy discovering new styles and adding new techniques to expand my hooking skills. Today, my areas of special interest are at opposite ends of the rug hooking spectrum: preserving traditional styles and materials as a heritage artisan and creating innovative multi-fibre pieces as a contemporary fibre artist. In addition to organizing exhibits for museums and community groups, I demonstrate traditional Maritime hooking styles at the Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic, pteach workshops, design original patterns and kits and enjoy hooking with a number of local and regional groups. I am a certified guild instructor and a member of the Rug Hooking Guild of Nova Scotia, The Rug Hooking Guild of NL & Labrador and The International Guild of Handhooked Rugmakers. I have participated in and organized many hooked rug exhibits in NS, NL and PEI. Several of my pieces have been featured in guild publications and in the International Rug Hooking Magazine.
