International Rug Hooking Day | Hooking Up

Join Canadian interdisciplinary artist Valerie Carew for a day designed to inspire your rug hooking practice. 

Spend time creating together, making community connections and gaining insight into the creative practice of Valerie Carew.  Through slide presentations and group discussion, Carew will share how she combines the craft of hand hooking with performance and photography to express relationships with land, dwelling, and identity. 

Browse exclusive wool fabrics and yarns at our onsite pop-up boutique with Martina Lesar and view handcrafted frames and stands by Gunda Gamble of Crowsfoot Studio. 

Indulge in the complimentary dessert bar, help yourself to coffee or tea, pack a lunch, and come celebrate International Rug Hooking Day with us.

Presented by Martina Lesar & Bear Epp
