The Rug Hooking Guild of Nova Scotia

The Rug Hooking Guild of Nova Scotia (RHGNS) is a non profit organization for those interested in keeping the art and craft of rug hooking alive and flourishing. Although the guild originally promoted rug hooking in Nova Scotia, today the guild also includes New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. Any rug hooker can become a member of the Rug Hooking Guild of Nova Scotia. Currently the guild has over 1,000 members who represent every province in Canada, as well as members in Bermuda, Japan, Scotland, and the United States. Even more than an association, the Rug Hooking Guild of Nova Scotia represents a community of engaged members from beginners to lifelong contributors to the art form.
