Tatiana Knodel

Making rugs is more than a hobby for Tatiana. She finds it is a means of self-expression. Tatiana believes rugs have limitless potential as an art form. Every new rug involves the use of different artistic elements and she is happy to share her experiences with others. A hooked rug can be flat and two-dimensional or it can be three-dimensional and sculpted. Tatiana's favorite style of rug hooking is a fine cut (#2 and #3) with sculpting. But she enjoys all other styles. Tatiana began rug hooking in 2008. She has made more than 170 pieces and five of her rugs have been featured in the “Celebration of Hand-Hooked Rugs” magazine. Two of her articles are published in Rug Hooking Magazine. She is a certified teacher of the Ontario Hooking Craft Guild. 16 of her pieces are featured in Janet Conner's book “Magnificent Hooked Rugs”. Photographs of her rugs can be seen on her website: www.tatianafibreartist.ca
