Sixth Generation Rug Hooker Introduces her Craft!
Jo-Anne Harris Teaching Rug Hooking
Jo-Anne Harris grew up surrounded by hooked rugs. She didn’t take up the craft until the late 90’s when a neighbour mentioned that rug hooking was relatively unknown. Since then there’s always been a rug on her frame. Jo-Anne’s rugs range in size from coasters to 4’ x 6’. Her largest rug was a series of four inch quilt patterns and was twice featured in Rug Hooking Magazine. She is now the owner of Wool-Gathering teaches beginner rug hooking classes and always enjoys seeing how people take to this incredibly simple but very versatile craft. www.Wool-Gathering.com
