Town & Garden: Creating Art with Wool, One Loop at a Time

Town and Garden is the new gallery display at the Stillwater Public Library during January and February featuring St. Croix valley rug hookers.

Hooked rugs have moved from its humble beginnings on the floor to become wall hangings, chair pads, pillow covers, tea cozies, table mats and runners, footstool covers, purses and bags, and whimsical three-dimensional creations. This exhibit presents a very colorful and artist sampling of styles and projects focusing on a theme of “Town and Garden” created by St. Croix Area artists who find great satisfaction in this traditional craft. A reception is scheduled for Sunday, January 15 from 2-4 pm.

The Stillwater Public Library Gallery is free and open to the public during regular library hours.
