Rug hooking classes are offered for any level of experience…or no experience at all! I teach primitive rug hooking (wide cuts-#6 or larger) with an emphasis on textured wool. This is an open class-you may bring any primitive pattern to work on or purchase one of mine.
Please bring a rug hooking frame if you have one, or a 14" embroidery hoop that is at least 1" wide, and a pair of scissors. If you do not have a frame or a hoop, please notify me at least 2 weeks in advance so that I can set one aside for you to purchase. I will have patterns, wool and other supplies available for sale during each class session.
Minimum of 4 students, maximum of 8 per class. Class fee is $65.00 for 4 weeks of instruction, 3 hours per class. A $25.00 deposit is required by January 9, 2010 to hold your spot. The balance of the class fee ($40.00) is due at the first class. No refunds for missed classes, however classes that are cancelled due to bad weather will be rescheduled for a future date to compensate for the missed class. Class fee does not include materials or supplies. VISA and MasterCard accepted!
To sign up, or for more information, please contact me, Kris Miller at (517) 546-7732 or e-mail kris@spruceridgestudios.com
