Do you love to learn?

I teach beginners and experienced rug hookers to tap into their inner artist (even if they don't think they have one!) and learn to create beauty in their own way

As a beginner rug hooker, Robin has encouraged me to think outside the box with designs. I have both taken classes and participate in the Creative Club. These opportunities have helped me find a community and develop my inner artist. I cannot wait until I can take my next course!

My expectations were exceeded and I would definitely sign up for another class with you.  You are an excellent teacher and I will look forward to the next offering.

I took a flower design workshop with Robin. She’s a fantastic teacher! Her clear instruction, practical processes, and approachable style made rug hooking design totally accessible

Start with the basics

I teach beginner classes so even if you are not sure what rug hooking is, I can help you! You can learn all the basics in a 2 hour workshop.

Improve your skills

I love learning and experimenting with new materials and rug hooking gives me endless opportunities to do both!

Make friends

Being connected to a community of supportive and creative people is key to my wellbeing, so I am always looking for opportunities to stay connected even during these challenging times.

Have you heard about my 'Creativity Club'?

Do you wish you had weekly meet-ups with people just like you? A group that never tires of talking about rug hooking? That wants to hear about your frustrations and is there with tips or suggestions? A group that inspires you? Well I did! So I create the Creativity Club!

It is an ONGOING and ONLINE club for all levels of rug hookers who want to learn, explore, and connect! It includes (but not limited to):

-Weekly live meet-ups where we share tips and tricks, Q & As and have time for creative conversations

-Monthly themes to get our creative juices flowing and push us out of comfort zones (if you want to!)

-Monthly workshops on the 2nd meet-up of every month. December 14th is the next one and I will coach you through designing your own Mandala for hooking or punching.

-A private Facebook group for exclusive videos, Facebook live events and conversations and sharing our process, discussing challenges and celebrating our progress

-First dibs on signing up for new classes

-LAST but not least: Monthly surprise yarn packs based on the theme mailed to your home!!! All this for $50 per month (plus shipping)

***OR If you want just the online Creativity Club (includes everything listed but just no yarn packs) it is $25/mth

How do you join the club?

Just email me at ROBINLWHITFORD@gmail.com and let me know you want to join the Creativity Club and if you want the yarn pack or not. I'll then send you an invoice and the links you need.

The CREATIVITY CLUB Meets-up EVERY Monday at 11am EST. All meet-ups are recorded and shared only with club members. So no worries if you miss it live, or just prefer to watch on your own time.

What are members saying about the club?

 "Creativity Club meetings are very relaxing and low-key.  You can share as much or as little as you like.  Zoom gets better and better with frequent use.  And any session that is missed can be viewed later so nothing missed."

"Robin is always upbeat and supportive of us developing our art in our own ways.  I work well with her style of no rules, just suggestions when you ask for them."

"The Creativity Club is a group of people that I love hanging out with on a regular basis. The creativity club zoom calls are often one of the biggest highlights of my week and I get not only tips and techniques for my projects, but also a social outlet with people who want to talk about the same things that I love talking about. People often say that it can be hard to find new friends as an adult and I think that groups like this are an amazing way to find kindred spirits. " 

Got questions?

I'd love to hear from you!
