in Primitive Rug Hooking
and Punch Needle Embroidery
Instructor & folk artist, Sally Van Nuys, creates
original hooked rug and punch needle patterns. She also designs rug hooking and punch
needle projects for Create & Decorate magazine. It all keeps her busy doing
what she loves, which includes teaching others these historic art
forms. You can join her informal studio classes in Northern Ohio.
Call today to see when the next class begins.
There will be optional classes and workshops
following beginning classes for any students who want to learn more
or just continue on as a group.
Classes are informal, very informative and lots of fun! Get a friend to take class with you - share driving to class, wool
or thread stash, and all the fun together! Have a group that would like to take
a class together? Sally can accommodate up to 6 students and will make every
effort to schedule your group in a class together. Call now!

Are you interested in taking a traditional rug hooking
or miniature needle punch embroidery class? Do you live near the
Northern Ohio area? If so, contact me. Classes are held in my home
studio in Spring and Fall - class size is limited to ensure adequate one-on-one instruction.
Beginning class introduces you to the art of traditional rug hooking
(not latch hooking) or miniature needle punch embroidery. Classes last six
consecutives weeks, and are held once a week.
Basic techniques, materials, and tools
are explained, displayed and discussed. You will complete a hand-hooked mat
or punch needle embroidery project during the course of your classes.
