Testimonials from Students and Creativity Club Members

As a beginner rug hooker, Robin has encouraged me to think outside the box with designs. I have both taken classes and participate in the Creative Club. These opportunities have helped me find a community and develop my inner artist. I cannot wait until I can take my next course!

Amanda Amero-Hubbard

My expectations were exceeded and I would definitely sign up for another class with you.  You are an excellent teacher and I will look forward to the next offering.

Susie Turner

I took a flower design workshop with Robin. She’s a fantastic teacher! Her clear instruction, practical processes, and approachable style made rug hooking design totally accessible
