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!
