Welcome to our website. We are a group of dynamic fibre artists based in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada whose passion
for the art of creating hooked rugs brings us together to share ideas and inspiration with other kindred spirits.

We are a branch within Area 1 of the Ontario Hooking Craft Guild.

The Origins of Traditional Rug Hooking
Creating hooked rugs is part of the Canadian cultural mosaic. It started with the early settlers hand-cutting discarded or outgrown clothing and hooking the cloth strips into burlap. The final result was much-needed warmth and beauty for the cold cabin floors.

Rug Hooking in the New Millennium
Today's rug hookers use fibres such as wool, yarn, nylons and ribbon which they hook into or embellish onto canvass backings such as burlap, linen or monk's cloth. With these resources, they are creating an array of diverse and excellent art and are competing in juried shows along with other fibre artists. Their art is also included in exhibitions at major museums and galleries.
