Pam is a four times recipient of the Master Artist/Apprenticeship grant thru the NH State Council on Arts Traditional Arts Program, part of the National Endowment for the Arts .
Pam has been teaching regular rug hooking for over twenty-five years, first at her home studio, then at rug schools and workshops in the U.S. and Canada.
