Learn traditional hand hooked rug techniques – you will learn everything you’ll need to know to finish the pattern at home. September 9, 2023 9:30 am – 4:00pm (Ages 18+)

The historic art of traditional hand hooked rugs has been admired since colonial times. Like many forms of art, hooked rugs were made out of necessity, utilizing scraps and upcycling.

We will be working with hand dyed wool fabric, cut into strips and pulled through a linen backing using a rug hook. By pulling up one loop at a time, you can create a beautiful 61/4″ by 61/4 ” heirloom textile. This is a lovely reminder that beauty can come from discarded remnants (although we’ll be using the good stuff). $120 + $65 materials fee payable to instructor at the time of class.
