Sauder Village is honored to host this exciting annual rug hooking event, and appreciates your support and participation to ensure the continuation and celebration of this traditional art form.
For over 30 years, Sauder Village has offered guests experiences rich in history, hospitality, creativity, and fun. Our living history museum preserves the stories of the past and features artisans of traditional American crafts, making Sauder Village an ideal venue for a week of rug hooking activity. As a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, Sauder Village relies on support from admissions, retail sales, and donations to sustain the mission, as well as the attendance and involvement of our members and volunteers.
Dear Fellow Rug Hookers,What an exciting Rug Hooking Week we have planned for you this year; from our Featured Exhibit, new vendors and more half-day and full-day workshops to the new “Mixed Media” category. Here’s more information….
Featured Exhibit - Collections and the amazing “Noah’s Ark” by Mary Sheppard Burton and artist Leonard Feenan. This three dimensional Ark stands 5’ 7” and weighs more than 300 pounds. On the deck of the Ark, you will see more than 100 individual hooked animals and people...it’s simply an inspiration!
New Vendors - This year we have invited Leonard Feenan, Bonnie Smith of the Wool Street Journal (Colorado), Kim Dubay of Primitive Pastimes (Maine), Kay Kjeldgaard of Kay’s Crafts (Illinois) to join our other wonderful vendors. So it will truly be a… “shop ‘til you drop” week!
More Workshops - The topics and projects are so creative, diverse and filled with great tips and techniques. Our 16 workshops will be taught by outstanding teachers: Gene Shepherd, Jane Halliwell Green, Helen Jeffrey, Bea Brock, Joyce Krueger, June Mikoryak, Susan Feller, Nola Heidbreder, Donna Hrkman, Alice Strebel, Kim Dubay and Nancy Blair. So if you’re just visiting for just a couple of days, we have great half-day and full-day workshops to offer you.
“Mixed Media” Category - This category will replace the “Other” category in our Main Exhibit. Mixed Media refers to artwork made using more than one medium (techniques and/or materials). This category will still include multi-dimensional hooked pieces such as footstools, purses, dolls, pillows, etc., and pieces using techniques such as proddy, felting, needle felting, needlepunch, punch hook, penny rugs, braiding and wool appliqué and make-do’s. However, it will now expand to include: pieces hooked with materials other than or in addition to wool (such as plastic, ribbon, paper, etc.) as well as pieces utilizing more than one technique (such as combining hooking, needle felting and appliqué, etc.). We know that many of you are venturing into these areas and encourage you to exhibit your creative and innovative pieces.
Please join us for the 14

"Thanks so much for getting me into a class. Truth be known, the friendships made and fellowship experienced are as, if not more, important to me than the instructor. You always made each and every participant feel so welcome, valued and cared for. Something that never went unnoticed nor unappreciated. Sauder Village is a special place indeed and I so look forward to my week with everyone there each August."
