Learn to Hook a Traditional Rug — Right Here at Fibrefest
Join Suzanne, an Ontario Hooking Craft Guild accredited teacher, for a hands-on introduction to the timeless art of traditional rug hooking. In just 2.5 hours, you'll go from complete beginner to pulling your very first loops — and walking away with a finished trivet (also called a mug mat) you made yourself.
What You'll Make
You'll choose your motif at the start of class — a heart, a star, or a pumpkin — and work through the full rug hooking process from first loop to finished piece. It's the perfect introduction to a craft that fibre lovers have been drawn to for generations.
Everything Is Included
Your kit has everything you need to get started:
- A hoop
- A rug hook
- Your chosen pattern on linen
- Cut wool strips in your colour palette
- A piece of wool to finish the back of your mat
No experience necessary — just bring yourself and your enthusiasm.
