Rug Artist & Teacher - Laura Webber Pierce

Welcome to my web-site!   I live in Petaluma, California in Sonoma County, 40 miles north of San Francisco. My mother lives here too, on the west side of town.  Emma has given me the lovely upstairs room for studio space and calls her home the House of 2 Studios!   Emma & I host an Open House & Hook-In twice a year.

It's always an honour to have a rug selected for this publication.  I enjoyed showing 'Emmy' at Sauder Village Rug Show in August 2008.   'Emmy' graced the cover of the June/July/August 2009 issue of Rug Hooking Magazine; having won the Viewers Choice!   Thank-you for your vote!

I enjoy teaching and sharing the Art of Rug Hooking.  I teach classes on Saturdays and at Rug camps around the country.  I'm available to teach a class or workshop per your request, at my place or yours;  contact me at (707) 762-2595 or Lwpierce@comcast.net   My patterns, hand-dyed wool, basic supplies & services are available at my Studio; call for an appointment Wednesday through Saturday.  

In our 7th year, I direct the  Little River Inn Rug Camp, a rug hookers' holiday on the Mendocino Coast! Nancy Miller Quigley and Barb Kennedy are our teachers this year; join us October 31 - November 5, 2010.    This February, I became the new director of Monterey Bay Rug Camp at Asilomar in Pacific Grove; Capri Boyle Jones and Carla Fortney will be our teachers this coming February 13-18, 2011.   Please let me know if you are interested in joining us.
