Get More One on One Time with a Teacher
Tired of being one of 12 or even 15 in a class? It’s no fun for the teacher either. As teachers we want to help every student and feel unsuccessful when just one person goes home without all their questions answered, The problem is that there is only so much time available and it must be spread around.
Break away from the crowds and gather three to seven of your friends Schedule three days in my studio where we will color plan your rugs together. You will be involved every step of the way. I can really take my time and explain everything.
My goal is to teach you how to color plan so you are ready for your next project.

What can I hook?
You can hook whatever you want. I have no restrictions. My designs are available through Spruce Ridge Studios at www.spruceridgestudios.com, but you can hook whatever design or style you like. I have a wide selection of textures and hand dyes. If time allows and your classmates agree we can even get out the dye pots and dye up what we need. That is the advantage of being in my home.
Can I bring my own wool?
Yes. While I would love to sell you all the wool you need for your rug, I know that you probably have a stash at home. Bring your favorites and we will work them in. In the event you need something you do not have, I have a very wide selection to choose from.
What will you teach?
I am happy to teach whatever you want to learn. The group could focus on landscapes or some other narrow topic or everyone in the group can hook something completely different. My teaching style is to listen to what questions you are asking and to watch what you are doing. When I think of something that will help, I give an on-the-spot lesson. Unlike a workshop where you have to gather everyone around in order to see something, you will be right there listening to all the instruction given to everyone in the group.
In this type of setting I can really tailor everything I do to the few people who are in the class. In a larger group I have to be sure to spend the bulk of my time on topics that are of interest to the majority of the class.

Not covered in the fee above is your hotel, travel and dinner. Your materials for class are also not covered. Fee does include lunch and beverages during the day. My recommended hotel in Bowling Green includes breakfast in your nightly fee.
When is payment due?
Payment is due at the time of reservation. It is usually simpler if someone in your group collects the payments and then mails them together. Your reservation is not final until payment is received. A $20 gift certificate will be given to the organizer as a thank you for the extra time and effort involved. This certificate can be used at the workshop.
What if I need to cancel?
There are no refunds of the pre-paid instruction fee. If a cancellation is necessary on my end, all fees will be returned if another date cannot be scheduled. If someone in your group cannot attend, but you find a replacement, you can substitute a new person. All financial arrangements in this case will be between the members of your group. If you need to add a member to your group they will be added at the per student price determined at the time of the initial registration.
Where will we stay?
You will stay in a hotel of your choice in either Bowling Green or Perrysburg, OH. My recommendation is at the Bowling Green exit off I-75, just minutes from the Ohio turnpike. I have worked out a deal with the Holiday Inn Express in Bowling Green to get you a slightly cheaper price. Just mention my name when you register. Lunch will be provided by the Forks resturant and is included in the workshop pricing. You will be choosing from their menu of salads, burgers and sandwiches. Dinner is on your own.
From the hotel in Bowling Green itt is about a 15 minute drive to my house down scenic state route 105. This road twists and turns along the Portage River. It has some of the prettiest farmland in the area.
Where is the workshop?
The workshop will be taught in my home. We can work in the studio if you like, but I usually hold classes in the livingroom where there is more room. You can find me at 315 Main St, Pemberville, OH.
Pemberville is south of Toledo, OH and east of Bowling Green, Ohio and just minutes from the Ohio Turnpike and I-75. State Route 105 goes right through town.
What else is there to do in the area?
Pemberville offers a unique experience at Beeker’s General Store. Yes, that is the general store shown on my rug, “The Village of Pemberville.” It is a favorite destination with my grandchildren. They can buy candy by the piece from glass jars. They offer up a unique and wonderful assortment of gift and home decor items. I especially like the affordable antique reproductions. Be sure to notice the antique merchandise still on the shelves but no longer for sale. We also have our own antique store, Riverbank Antiques.
Bowling Green is a college town and offers many pubs and restaurants.
Toledo offers a top notch Art Museum with FREE admission. The Toledo Zoo is one of the
top ranked zoos in the country. I especially like the Hippoquarium. We had 2 mama polar bears give birth to cubs in November of 2006. One had a set of twins!
Is the workshop handicapped accessible?
Unfortunately, no. Classes can be held upstairs in the studio or downstairs, but there are still 4-5 steps to get into the house. Someday, I would like to offer accessible classes, but for now, there are obstacles.
I can answer all your questions, just give me a call.
419-287-3884, between 9am and 7pm, eastern.
I am new at offering this type of service, so your questions will help me to revise this page. Please don’t hesitate to call. I will be offering a calendar so you can see the dates that are available, but that is still some time away. In the meantime, give me a call and we will find a date that works.
Allergy Alert!
I have two cats that have free roam of the house, including the studio. One is outside during the day, but the younger one is an inside cat. We adopted a puppy September 2008. He is a boxer mix and has very short hair. The only carpeting in the house is in the studio upstairs. The hard flooring helps my allergies, but I cannot give up the furry friends.
