Diane Burk

Bolton Landing, NY
 

All of Diane Burk's designs are original and hand hooked by her with 100% wool yarn and the finest backing materials.  Running Ridge Studio offers designs and hooked rugs as floor rugs/runners, wall hangings,  chair pads, table servers, or pillows.

Hooked Rug Kits and Patterns are available for those who would like to hook their own rugs.  Punch Hooking Rug Kits include:  basic instructions, 100% wool yarn, a color coded pattern ‘map’ showing where colors are used, a pattern drawn on the finest 100% cotton monk’s cloth with edges taped, and a color photo of the finished rug.  Kits do not come with a hooking tool or a frame to stretch.  For those wishing the design only, patterns are available in two formats:  Patterns for punch hookers are drawn on 100% cotton monk’s cloth with edges taped and reversed for working pattern from the back.  Patterns for 'traditional' hookers to use with yarn or wool strips are drawn on the front of either monk's cloth or Scottish burlap and taped.

Running Ridge opens the opportunity for those who wish to own their own hooked rugs.  Depending on your interest and pocketbook, you can buy an already completed piece, a pre-assembled kit to complete the rug yourself, or have a rug designed and custom-sized to your specifications.

Running Ridge Studio will also work with you to incorporate your ideas, concepts, size, and color preferences into a personalized rug or wall hanging.  And any design you see on the Running Ridge Gallery Page can be customized to size, color, and subject matter. Call or email for more information.

Classes are also available.  Email or call to register and to be added to the Running Ridge Studio mailing list.
