Teresa KogutDescription: In this workshop you will learn how to create a punchneedle “miniature rug” from start to finish. Students will be using a special needle to punch 3-stand cotton floss through fabric to make tiny loops in a primitive folk art style design. Punchneedle is fun and easy to learn. Teresa will share her tips, tricks, and walk you through the steps from how to thread the needle, hold the needle, hold your hoop, punch another color floss so your loops don’t tangle (and how to fix it if they do tangle), punch around words, and ensure your design is “square” before you finish the border.


Teresa Kogut's workStudents will have a choice of 4 pattern designs and sizes to work on in this workshop. Teresa will talk about what to do with your finished piece, including mounting to wood, framing, or attaching to a felted purse. She will also bring examples of these finishing methods for you to see.

Bio:  Teresa went to college to pursue her love of art and ever since she has immersed herself in creativity. In 1991 she started selling her original artwork and by 1994 her work was sold in shops across the country. For the past 17 years she has worked to build an art licensing business with more than forty companies to produce greeting cards, calendars, prints, quilting fabric and other product lines. 

Teresa Kogut's workIn the spring of 2004, while attending quilt market, Teresa saw punchneedle for the first time. Her eyes widened and mouth dropped as she was mesmerized by these “tiny hooked rugs”. Within days of returning from the show, she had the materials necessary to start punching one of her own drawings. From that point on, Teresa has been punching her own designs, teaching the techniques, and developing a punchneedle pattern line.

Teresa lives five miles from where she grew up in her beloved state of Michigan with her husband, Kevin, sons, Kyle and Ryan, step-daughter, Briahnna and furry children, Buster, Daisy, and Kitty Girl.
