Rug Hooking Demenstation

Suzanne Douglas, an accomplished local fiber artist, will be demonstrating traditional rug hooking as well as punch needle rug making on Thursday July 27 from 1 – 3 pm. The craft of making hooked rugs dates to the early 19th century when strips of wool were saved and used to create floor coverings in New England homes. Contemporary fiber artists have transformed this traditional craft into an art form. Free with Museum admission and always free for members.
