Lecture: Hooked Rugs and the Economy with Sharon MacDonald September 9, 2009

The history of rug hooking in Canada goes well beyond an account of a domestic craft in which decorative and practical furnishings were produced for personal household use. Citing examples that span diverse communities and geographical regions, Sharon MacDonald will explore the fascinating and significant role that hooked rugs have played in the hidden and not-so-hidden economy over the past century.
