Susan Publicover Lord (Fibre)
Susan lives in Blandford and is a retired system analyst from Bell Aliant. She started hooking in 2003. Her early hookings were done with cotton and cotton/polyester blends in the straight line method which was the traditional way of hooking in this area.
Susan now hooks with wool, recycled and new, and loves experimenting with dyes, both from natural sources and acid dyes. All of her hooked mats are her own design and she has done several commissioned pieces.
Susan took a needle felting workshop in 2009 and loved the images that could be created using wool fibre. She then discovered 3-dimensional needle felting which led her to creating felted birds which are then attached to pieces of driftwood collected from along the shore. Susan is also an avid beach glass collector and makes beach glass earrings, pendants and brooches. She loves photography and uses her own images in her designs.
She has been member of the Aspotogan Arts and Crafts group since 2004 and has won an Excellence in Rug Hooking Award at their annual May Shows in 2004, 2005, and 2010. She is also an active member of the Heritage Handwork group, the Chester Farmers’ & Artisan Market, and Director (Web) at the Hooked Rug Museum of North America in Queensland as well as other community organizations.
