TEACHER:
Dwight Gallagher - has been rug hooking for over twenty years and finds it a source of enjoyment, a type of therapy giving him an opportunity to express his creativity. Presently his main focus is landscapes and making them look realistic. Dwight is a member of the Rug hooking Guild of Nova Scotia (RHGNS), having acted as Regional Director; serving six years on the RHGNS Executive and a term as RHGNS Rug School Director. In 2019 Dwight received his RHGNS Teacher’s Certificate and feels we should be constantly learning something new with rug hooking. He has taught classes at the RHGNS Rug School and elsewhere in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick and has judged rugs at various Exhibitions. Dwight dyes wool, creates patterns and bargain shops for recycled wool. When not rug hooking, Dwight likes to spend time with his wife Linda and their three grandchildren.
