ABOUT
THE DIRECTOR
Stephanie
Ashworth-Krauss was
only six when she learned to hook from her
mother, Anne Ashworth, a nationally recognized
rug hooker who co-founded Green Mountain Rug
School (GMRS) with Jean Armstrong in 1982. A
fourth-generation rug hooker, Stephanie spent
much of her childhood traveling to hooking
classes with her mother, and helping with the
family's custom-dye business. As a stay-at-home
mom, Stephanie learned to repair hooked rugs,
and in 1990 became involved with the
administrative work of GMRS. When Anne decided
to retire from GMRS in 2001, Stephanie was ready
to accept the leadership of the 20-year-old
school, and currently operates it with her
sister, Pam; her dad, Wink; and her daughters,
Cecely, Lindsay, and Mariah. Stephanie, a
custom-dyeing specialist, also owns Green
Mountain Hooked Rugs in Montpelier, Vermont,
where she offers wool, yarn, hooking supplies,
custom dyeing, rug repair, rug- cleaning
services, and classes. |

WEEKEND ONE, June 5–7
BRAIDING BEYOND
THE HOOKING Kris
McDermet FULL
Explore the colorful world of braiding, as Kris guides you
through the process of adding a braided edge to your hooked
rug. She shows you the basic techniques of braiding, lacing,
butting, and padding your hooked piece. She discusses color
choices and the use of different textured fabrics in
creating a braided edge. Please come to class with one or
two small hooked round, square, or rectangular pieces. Each
braided row is separate and students may add as many rows as
they like. Students are contacted prior to class and given a
list of supplies needed for braiding.
DROWNING IN
SCRAPS–TECHNIQUES FOR USING THE UN-USABLE
Linda Repasky FULL
We try to be frugal hookers, but we still end up with piles
of leftover “worms”, and pieces of wool that are too short
and stubby for hooking. If you find yourself wondering what
to do with your too-good-to-throw-away scraps, this is the
class for you! Learn several old rug-making techniques,
including standing wool rugs and shirring, to create small
mats during class. In addition, work on quick and easy
projects that not only chip away at your piles of scraps,
but also give you ideas for gift-giving. The focus of this
class is on fun—as we play with wool in new and different
ways!
DYE POTS IN THE
GREENHOUSE–ESSENTIALS
Karen Schellinger FULL
In this hands-on dye class, explore the fundamentals of
dyeing by mixing the Pro Chemical primary colors. Practice
the “dye-by-eye” technique using fundamentals of the color
wheel, and learn to set fear aside as confidence builds.
Bring wool, comfortable shoes, and dress casually. Create a
“wool garden” of color to take home, with a new
understanding of the what, when, and why in the dye pots.
Students are contacted prior to the class and receive a
supply list.
MULTI-CUT
LANDSCAPES & PICTORIALS
Pam Bartlett FULL
This pictorial class is designed for both beginner and
advanced students with a focus on landscapes—original or
commercial design. Explore the compositional elements of
light and shadow to create perspective using a variety of
dyed and textured wools. Pam prefers to blend fine cut along
with wide cut, encouraging students to enhance their own
personal style and to discover new ways to create a unique
pictorial in rug hooking.
PUNCH NEEDLE–OPEN CLASS
Amy Oxford FULL
This class is designed for beginners interested in learning
the basics of punch needle rug hooking, and for more
experienced punchers interested in the opportunity to
enhance their skills in a supportive and encouraging
environment. All students are welcome! Bring your own
pattern, or choose from dozens of small 8 x 14-inch designs
available from Amy—great for chair seats, wall hangings, or
tabletop decorations. Intermediate students may also use
these patterns, start a new piece of any kind, or bring in a
work in progress.
VISUAL RUG JOURNAL Kim Dubay (3 Openings)
Many of us have written notes, dye formulas, and
sketches for hooked rugs, but where are they now? Lost, or
long forgotten? Have you ever wanted to keep track of the
rugs you've hooked in something other than the familiar
photo album? Kim shows how to organize them in an attractive
and artful way, using recycled books. Students design and
hook a cover for their new ‘journal’. After preparing the
book pages, students assemble all the materials they’ve
brought and then record the information or stories about
their rugs. Kim shares easy techniques for transferring
photos to fabric, making photo transparencies and many other
scrap-booking skills. There are several styles of rug
journals for students to view for inspiration. A supply list
is sent to each student before class.
EVENING
LECTURE
The Importance of Documenting Hooked Rugs in an Artful
Way with Kim Dubay
Saturday, June 6, 7-8 PM
Free and also open to the public.
In the last couple of years, Kim has developed classes on
how to showcase background information collected while
hooking a rug. All the sketches, dye formulas, notes and
photos that accumulate as a rug is created are usually
discarded or never looked at again. What if rug hookers were
able to take all this vital information and create an
attractive and artful way to share it with others? How would
that increase the value of each rug? Wouldn't families
appreciate the stories and process of creating a particular
rug given to them by the rug hooker? Kim shares her
experiences and shows examples of her work.

Students
with their rugs in Jule Marie Smith’s Early Primitives
class, Rug School 2007

THE
WEEK, June 7–12
BORDERS Germaine James (1 Opening)
Borders can be used as a frame to enhance the detail in the
main part of the hooking. However, borders can also be
important just by themselves. If you have a design that
needs a “frame”, Germaine helps you create a border that
complements the subject. Or if you have a plain hooked
center, Germaine makes suggestions based on your personal
preferences. Commercial patterns with interesting borders
may also be used. Germaine helps you color plan and suggests
a hooking style to complement the central design. Some
dyeing may be done in class.
BRAIDING FOR ALL LEVELS
Phyllis DeFelice FULL
Beginners explore the fundamentals of creating a braided
rug, including braiding, lacing, changing color, tapering,
butting, and planning a round chair seat or a small round or
oval rug. Experienced braiders have the opportunity to
expand their skills to include modified and squared-corner
articles such as rectangle, heart and square shapes, as well
as arrowhead and rail-fence designs. All braiding is done
the "old-fashioned way", by hand, folding the three tubes
throughout the rug to give a very even braid. This
once-utilitarian craft has seen a resurgence of interest and
is now considered an art form. Students are contacted prior
to the class and receive a supply list. Basic braiding
supplies are available at the GMRS rug shop.
DYE POTS IN THE
GREENHOUSE–COMPREHENSIVE Karen Schellinger FULL
Amazing color, creativity, fun, 14 dye techniques, and much
more! Learn to mix the Pro Chemical primary colors,
“dye-by-eye” using the color wheel, and explore at least 13
other dye techniques. Explore the depths of your imagination
and build confidence in this hands-on class! Bring wool,
comfortable shoes and dress casually. Create a “wool garden”
of color to take home with a new understanding of the what,
when, and why in the dye pots. Students are contacted prior
to the class and receive a supply list.
EARLY PRIMITIVES Jule
Marie Smith FULL
This class focuses on early primitive rugs in the style of
the 1800s. Study the designs and colors of rugs from this
era, and apply your understanding to create a unique rug,
using motif ideas from your own life. As rug hookers of the
past used what they had, so will we! Bring your “wool stash”
of odds and ends to create the look of “running out.” See
examples in American Hooked and Sewn Rugs by Joel and Kate
Kopp.
FINE HOOKING–FLOWERS, LEAVES &
ORIENTALS Nancy Claflin Blood FULL
Nancy specializes in #3- and #4-cut in fine tapestry work
using an artistic, painterly approach. The class focuses on
in-depth studies of assorted design elements using different
shading techniques and color schemes. All finely shaded
designs are welcome, including florals, orientals, fruit,
and crewel designs.
FOLK-ART STYLES Norma
McElhenny FULL
Norma’s love of color is reflected in her country folk-art
styles found in all types of rug hooking, fine- to wide-cut.
Start a new rug or bring one in progress and Norma can help
you color plan using her wool and yours. One of the
highlights of this class is a day of dyeing, in which Norma
reveals her tips for creating spot-dyed wool, gradation
swatches, mottled, and “abrashed” wool. She also shares her
“back-to-basics” approach to hooking, and concludes the week
by demonstrating her unusual styles of rug finishing.
PEOPLE & PLACES Roslyn
Logsdon FULL
Capture the essence of an image or a memory, as you work in
a #3- or #4-cut or larger, to create a one-of-a-kind hooked
picture representing people, places, or both. You may design
your own pattern, or for a fee, Roslyn can design one using
your photos. Students are contacted prior to the class to
discuss their project.
PICTURE THIS… Jon
Ciemiewicz (2 Openings)
Would you like to capture a special picture on a hooked rug?
Jon creates patterns from your photos and helps students
with the color planning and hooking techniques. Receive
instruction on creating faces, fur and feathers, shading,
and adding perspective. The picture can be of a person, your
favorite pet, your house, a favorite landscape or seascape.
You may also bring a pattern of the above-mentioned
subjects. The instruction is applicable to wide- and
narrow-cut rugs.
WHIMSICAL PRIMITIVES
Beverly Conway (1 Opening)
Bev is a well-known designer and a talented and fun teacher
for both beginners and advanced rug hookers. Her slide show
and commentary are insightful in critiquing artwork and
hooked rugs. She shows how to identify color harmonies, how
colors influence each other, and how to create harmony in
your rug. Her catalog and patterns are available in the GMRS
shop. 
EVENING LECTURE
Creating the Illusion of the Third Dimension with Jon
Ciemiewicz
Tuesday, June 10, 7-8 PM $8
Also available to the public.
Jon presents a brief history on the subject of perspective
in art and how it relates to our medium of rug hooking. He
shares his knowledge of techniques that are used to
accomplish the illusion of the third dimension through a
PowerPoint presentation, illustrations, and pictures that
demonstrate this fascinating effect in pictorials and
landscapes.

Stephanie
Ashworth-Krauss confers with Mary Brandt Murphy (94 years
old!) at Rug School 2005

WEEKEND TWO, June 12-14
BRING ANIMALS TO LIFE WITH WIDE-CUT
Trish Becker (2 Openings)
Trish welcomes students to the exciting world of wide-cut
animals (8.5-, 9- and hand- cut). Create a unique rug with
animal magnetism that truly engages the viewer. Whether you
have hooked for two years or twenty, Trish shows you how to
see as an artist and use color in new ways. Choose one of
her popular designs or, prior to class, Trish can draw a
pattern of your furry friend from a photograph. Trish’s
style of teaching affirms your creativity and encourages
your confidence!
COLOR EXPLORATIONS
Susan Feller (1 Openings)
Join Susan for a weekend of lessons on color— for a fun way
to learn and create! In each lesson hook a five-inch square
that allows you to study aspects of color (primary,
complimentary); value (shadows, light); detail (textures,
solids); shape (geometry, composition). Susan's finished
samples, reference books and other visual aids, along with
group discussion and critique, help broaden your awareness
of how these important aspects are developed in a larger
rug. Kit fee of $35 includes wools and backing for four
five-inch mats.
DYE POTS IN THE GREENHOUSE–ADVANCED
Karen Schellinger CANCELLED
More amazing colors, untapped creativity, uncommon
techniques, fun and so much more! We continue to use the Pro
Chemical primary colors but add more, while focusing on the
manipulation of the wool prior to entering the dye pot. The
many different techniques produce amazing color combinations
and reflect individual styles. Your understanding of color
expands as your imagination takes off. Bring wool,
comfortable shoes, and dress casually. You won’t believe
your eyes! Limited to students who have completed Karen’s
Essentials or Comprehensive dye classes.
FIND IT & FINISH IT
Nancy Claflin Blood (3 Openings)
Nancy specializes in fine hooking, but her knowledge and
experience encompass all aspects of rug hooking. Find your
unfinished projects and let Nancy start you on the road to
finishing them.
FLORALS, LEAVES & SCROLLS
Diane Moore FULL
This class is designed for experienced rug hookers who wish
to improve their skills through a variety of shading
techniques. Fine-cut strips are used to create
realistic-looking flowers and leaves. Explore different ways
of shading scrolls. Students are contacted prior to the
class to discuss pattern and color choices.
SCRAP RUGS THAT SING–ALL LEVELS
Lisanne Miller FULL
These are not your grandmother’s scrap rugs, but a great way
to use up your baskets of “noodles”! By using the colors of
your scraps (aka the colors you love), along with strong
images throughout the rug in dark browns, blacks and
grays— your rug will sing! Bring your noodles, plus a
one-quart size bag filled with extras to share and swap.
This is a great class
for beginners.
