Hook-in
We're thrilled to welcome renowned Nova Scotia rug hooker Laura Kenney for a special 'Hook-In' event! Join us for a relaxed and inspiring session where you can work on your own rug hooking projects, meet fellow makers, and have the chance to ask Laura a few questions about her work and process. This is a donation-based event, with proceeds going to support our local animal shelter.
Please call Brenda 902-542-2656 if you plan to attend.
About Laura...
Laura Kenney is a contemporary rug hooker known for her witty and socially conscious textile art. Kenney uses her alter ego “Judy”—a red-haired woman in red boots—as the central figure in many of her hand-hooked rugs, tackling everyday life with humour and heart. Her work blends traditional folk craft with modern commentary, earning her a place in the Nova Scotia Art Bank and exhibitions across Canada, including solo shows at major galleries like the Mary E. Black Gallery and Cape Breton University Art Gallery.
