Rug hooking started on the east coast of North America, from Labrador, Canada down to the Carolina’s. Popular for at least the past 200 years, rug hooking has spread across the United States, Canada and many other countries. Today, rug hookers are exploring new materials and new techniques. This experimentation, combined with knowledge and respect for the past, allows rug hooking to be primitive or modern with rug hookers creating stunning pieces of art.
Rug hooking is both an art form and a craft where rugs are made by pulling loops of fabric through a woven backing such as monks’ cloth, linen or rug warp. Wool fabric, that has been dyed and cut into strips, is used when making a rug or mat. A tool called a hook is used to pull the fabric strips through the backing to make a loop. Together, all of these loops make a rug.
In the series of classes, students will start with a kit that includes a pre-designed mat, then students will design and hook their own mat in later classes. By having four classes over four weeks, students can hook between classes.
