Bio:
Cindi first applied her observant eye and art training to rug hooking in 2000. She began teaching almost immediately, at first learning just enough to stay ahead of her beginner students, and later deepening her knowledge of how to transform wool into art.
After teaching on the road for almost 2 decades, Cindi limited her in-person teaching to home and online. The front door of her farm house opens directly into her studio. This is a rare opportunity to take an in-person class.
By combining her love of rug hooking and computers, Cindi delivers rug hooking information to the public in the form of a podcast, blog, online courses and membership, and Live! Hook-ins and Lessons. Visit her website to learn more.

Cindi is a McGown Certified Teacher and strives to make what she is teaching understandable for everyone. She is patient with everyone and welcomes beginners who are willing to learn as well as experienced rug hookers to her classes.
She has published three books, Dyeing Without Dye, Dying by the Numbers and Pictorial Basics: Pine Trees, Grass and Sky. Her landscape rug, The Village of Pemberville, was featured in Celebrations of Hand-Hooked Rugs and later won People’s Choice that year in Rug Hooking magazine as well as first place at the McGown Biennial in 2004.
