Join Ontario’s Vibrant Network of Rug Hooking Artists and Enthusiasts

Join the OHCG Today!

Join an international network of approximately 1,000 textile artists who share their enthusiasm and experience for the art of traditional rug hooking. New guild members receive a welcome letter with information on hooking schools, events, and suppliers. Our newsletter, printed quarterly, keeps everyone current, especially those unable to attend our events. We can also refer new members to a representative in their area or help locate a teacher or group to hook with.
