Artist Meet & Greet

Description

Mingle with the artists among their works. Live music and refreshments served. Rug hooking is a very old tradition used by sailors, people who needed rugs to keep sparks from a hearth from burning down the house, and later to decorate the floors of their homes. This is not latch hooking, but a traditional form of pulling cloth through a background made of seed bags. Today, hooked rugs are made from different cut sizes, using beautiful hand-dyed 100% wools that are pulled through monks’ cloth, warp cloth, or linens. This makes them very beautiful and a treasure that will last for years. Some are patterns that have been handed down, and many are the artist’s patterns. Many depict scenes that they remember from their life or the nature around them. We believe you will be amazed to see these rugs. This is very different from the paintings that you usually see in this space.
