If you have attended singing bowls before, Welcome Back!  If you are new to singing bowls, I am excited for you to experience what the bowls can do.

2025 DATES - subject to change on occasion 

February 2, 2025            March 2, 2025.    April 6, 2025

Time:  1:00 - 3:00 pm

Learn and create your own hooked rugs to use as art, chair pad, coaster or to actually put on the floor.

Rug Hooking is a Folk Art that dates back to when women wanted to make their homes comfortable but couldn't afford it, so, being resourceful, used what they had. Old burlap feed bags as the backing, worn out wool clothing and blankets for the "worms" and a bent nail put in a piece of wood for the hook. Basically, that is all you need but now we use monks cloth or similar material for the backing, wool is available on the bolt (but I still love to hunt the thrifts shops to up-cycle wool clothing), and a variety of hooks are available for purchase. Oh, and I forgot a frame to hold your project while creating it. Beginners can use a quilting hoop until they decide they are "hooked" and buy a hooking frame. That is for later. A nice sharp little pair of scissors for snipping and you are ready to go.

Each month, we gather - like an old fashion quilting circle - and make a project from beginning to end. Some projects will take 2-3 months to learn all the steps to finish but you will have fun in-between hooking your design.

Of course, I am available during shop hours to work one-on-one with you.

Wool available to purchase!

Each class - $15  - to continue your project

$25 - to start a new project

Add Ons: Hoop Frame - $22.00
Hook - $18.00
* if you have your own hook & frame,  please bring it
** I have some to use during class but you will need to purchase your own supplies to finish at home.

Time: We start at 1:00
The first hour is show-and-tell, show off what you are working on or finished
The second hour is "hooking", let's get to it!
You are welcome to stay another hour, once you get going, it is hard to stop.

R.S.V.P. required to prepare the room

Tarot Readings by Ellen.  I am a student of B.O.T.A. and consider myself an intuitive reader of tarot.  I will look at the snapshot of where you are right now, and the message  the Universe needs you to focus on.  As humans, we want to be distracted by learning about work, or friends or love.  My tarot wants you to look deeper inside yourself to heal,  transform and grow.  $50.00 by appointment.

Full Year Spread: $75.00 (takes @ 1-1/2 hours)
