Rug Hooking Classes & Workshops
Design-Focused Rug Hooking for Curious, Creative Minds
Whether you’re a guild or rughooking group looking to offer a bold, design-driven experience or an individual artist ready to explore your own vision in wool, Indigo Hookery offers classes that go deeper than technique. These workshops are built around artistic exploration, visual storytelling, and the courage to break the rules beautifully.
