TEACHER:
Suzanne Bailly is a retired school teacher and adult/community educator who discovered hooking a few years ago. She has tried traditional styles – not fine shading! During Covid Suzanne discovered Winnie Glavine of Rug Hooking Workshops of Newfoundland on Zoom and became fascinated with the freedom of hooking on non traditional foundations. She has permission from Winnie to teach others this interesting experience.
