Rug Hooking in Harmony

Celebration of Hand-Hooked Rugs 30

Author: Rebecca Martin

The basic techniques of rug hooking—punch needle rug hooking, standing wool, and proddy, along with traditional hooking techniques—can be combined in endless ways to create wonderfully harmonious hooked pieces. This beautifully illustrated how-to book discusses in detail each of these diverse methods, and how they can be put together in fresh and exciting ways. With four strong fiber art tools in your tool belt, you will be ready to take your art to the next level. In this invaluable book, expert rug hooker and instructor Rebecca Martin notes that “combining tools, techniques, materials, and media does not register as a risk in any way; it is purely my process. I find that the more open I am, the more my creativity compounds.”

Her creative work and articles have been published in Rug Hooking Magazine and the ATHA Magazine. She teaches locally and online and has taught at both the ATHA Convention and Rug Hooking Week at Sauder Village.
