Preserving the history of North America's folk art.
Rug
hooking is North America's original folk art. Once a craft developed to
cover the drafty floors of the primitive homes of our settlers, it is
now a fine art practised by talented and skilled artisans. Once made
with strips of used material, the very first of our re-cycling, modern
rug hooking is described as painting with wool.
Welcome to the news site of the Hooked Rug Museum of North America. We hope you will find it useful and entertaining. Our purpose is to preserve the tradition of rug hooking, celebrate and promote the artform.
We invite your input and your help in building the Museum. We also invite you to submit news and items of interest to the rug hooking community. This site gives us a chance to communicate our interest, all around the world.
