July 13
10–3pm
Join us for a traditional Hook-In on the eastern end of the picturesque Prince Edward County peninsula at the Rose House Museum — an idyllic historic setting to gather with our rug hooking community.
Slow down and spend the day rug hooking and needle punching, making connections, and sharing your passion for this time-honoured craft.
Just for us, the County Museum curators will be pulling a selection of hand-hooked rugs from their collection for our viewing pleasure.
Grab some friends, pack a lunch, and spend a day together in the County at the Rose House Museum, hosted by The County Museums & Gather in the County co-curator and rug hooker Bear Epp.
