We participate in the Sonoma County Fair each summer by entering our rugs in their competition and demonstrating Rug Hooking every day of the fair. Visit us in the Garret Building, 11am - 3pm, and see first hand what it's all about. We also show our rugs at the Marin County Fair and the Gravenstein Apple Fair.

Original Rug Hooked Fiber Art by Artist Elizabeth Black:  
Hand crafted in the rich folk tradition,these elegant hooked rugs and wall hangings provide a rich,thick texture you'll treasure for years. I use only the finest wool cut into strips,then worked into loops with a traditional rug hook through heavy cotton backing. The wools are carefully hand-dyed if necessary to achieve the desired colors and shadings. These exacting techniques allow for fine detail and subtle shading in your special one of a kind design.
Select the colors,shape,size and type of pattern you desire and I'll work with you to create a most elegant rug or accent piece. You'll find hooked rugs complement a spectrum of decors...from classic to contemporary,even primitive. Adorn floors, walls, or furnishings-in your home or office-with your custom made work of art!
