Studio Classes

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 or email today to see when the next class begins.

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! Beginning classes introduce you to the art of traditional rug hooking (not latch hooking) or miniature needle punch embroidery. Classes run for six consecutive 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.
