It’s that time of year – Open Season for Cambria Pines Rug Camp! It’s a pleasure to beginning announcing the nationally recognized teachers who will make up the CPRCA Teaching Roster in 2010
Although hard copies of the brochure and registration form are in the process of being mailed this weekend, any one can view or print out both by going to my web site and clicking on the Cambria Pines button. (The new info should be on by the time of this post.) Regular attendees will immediately notice two new faces to this year’s teaching roster. Going alphabetically, by first name, I’ll introduce one new teacher today:
Anne-Marie Littenberg
Anne-Marie Littenberg is a self-taught rug hooker who lives in Burlington, Vermont. She enjoys exploring traditional and non-traditional techniques and materials.
Her work primarily depicts landscapes in painterly and abstract styles.
Past President (and also treasurer) of the Green Mountain Rug Hooking Guild, Anne-Marie is also a frequent contributor to Rug Hooking Magazine.
Her book, Hooked rug Landscapes, was published during the spring of 2009. Anne-Marie accepts occasional teaching assignments, which have included Sauder Village (where she was the recipient of the coveted Sauder Village and People’s Choice awards) and Hooked in the Mountains at Shelburne Museum in Vermont, where Anne-Marie is a regular recipient of the Viewer’s Choice award.
At Cambria Pines Rug Camp, Anne-Marie will be teaching her techniques for creating landscape and pictorial hooked rugs. According to Anne-Marie, a landscape is created whe an artist depicts his or her perception of the outdoor world.
The view may include building, people or animals. It may be in the country, or a view of the a city street.
Perhaps just the sky and it’s reflection in a pool of water in a natural or unnatural terrain.
Whatever you wish to do, Anne-Marie will help you learn how to incorporate into rug hooking, painterly techiques regarding composition, color and value, that have been used for centuries in the world of fine art.
