Nova Scotia Rug Hooking Guild Demo and Rug Registry

Members of Nova Scotia Rug Hooking Guild are registering rugs to preserve a part of Nova Scotia’s Heritage. By Preserving information about each rug and the person who hooked it, the history and traditions of Nova Scotia are preserved as well. All mats must be at least 25 years old and hooked in NS or hooked by someone from Nova Scotia. Whether a rug or mat was used to keep the kitchen floor warm, used as a blanket on a bed or to beautify the parlour, simply for enjoyment or trade, each has its own story. Members of the Rug Hooking Registry will be meeting with people interested in registering their rug at DesBrisay Museum, 130 Jubilee Road in Bridgewater, on August 24 th, from 10 am to 2 pm. Members of the Guild will also be offering a free demonstration of the traditional craft of rug hooking on site .For More information, or to book an appointment, please contact Museum Staff, 902-543-4033 or wile.mill@bridgewater.ca
