Discover the art of traditional rug hooking with a contemporary twist!

Spend six hands-on hours learning the fundamentals of rug hooking and creating your own unique project from start to finish. You’ll learn everything from pulling your very first loop to completing and finishing your rug, with plenty of guidance along the way.

Our relaxed, welcoming workshop environment is perfect for beginners and those looking to build their skills. The instructor will circulate throughout the session to provide one-on-one support, answer questions, and help you work through any challenges that arise.

And the learning doesn’t have to end when the workshop does! Participants will receive contact information for the instructor so additional guidance with rug hooking or finishing techniques is available after the workshop.
