Rug hooking has caught our eye this year, and is making its way to Ram Wools. From area rugs to wall hangings, this is one very intriguing artistic outlet that can produce a wide variety of styles and looks. There will be a rug hooking class at our fall retreat, led by Judy Trefry. Judy has been making hooked rugs for years; she has definitely made a fine art of it. Her work goes above and beyond the so-called primitive style of rug hooking, which uses basic designs and chunky material in big blocks of colour. Judy's pictorial rugs are simply stunning, with a detailed, almost painted look. One such art piece, entitled Beausejour's Sentinel (shown below), toured Canada as part of the exhibit Vanishing Prairie Landmarks. You can read more about Judy in The Beausejour Review.
