Looking to expand your skills and beat the winder doldrums???
Become a Oxford Certified Instructor
 


Every thought of becoming a Certified Oxford Instructor? In addition to the basics of punch needle rug hooking, you learn many advanced techniques including shading, working with novelty yarns, the use of strips of fabric in the punch needle, yarn blending, basic traditional rug hooking, three-dimensional rug hooking, sculpting, and the use of all eight sizes of the Oxford Punch Needles. During class, you have the opportunity to begin a sampler in class that will also serve as an excellent teaching aid if you decide to teach others. 

Becoming certified requires an intense week-long class as well as completion of pre-class and in-class samplers and your own designed rug. The cost of certification is $1200 and includes all your materials (manual and resources, monks cloth, yarn and wool, and use of necessary needles and frames).

I am interested in compiling a list of individuals who are interested in the course. I am teaching a class February 5-12, 2023 (a good activity for the cold winter!) If you are interested in becoming certified please email me at thewoolyloonmn@gmail.com. 

Prerequisite is a knowledge of punch needle rug hooking.
