Rug Hooking Workshop with Dr. Jenel Schaffer
September 13, 2026

–5:00 PM
Historic Rock Ford welcomes Dr. Jenel Schaffer of Sheep Hill Herbs & Fiber Arts for a rug hooking workshop. In this short-format workshop, participants will be introduced to the basics of rug hooking using wool strips and a simple foundation. Because time is limited, we will focus on creating a small, finished piece such as a seasonal ornament. The emphasis is on learning the foundational technique, enjoying the rhythm of handwork, and leaving with something meaningful and complete. Participants will be guided step-by-step through design transfer, hooking technique, and finishing basics. Materials will be provided, and beginners are welcome. Each participant will also receive a small take-home supply kit so they can continue practicing and completing additional small projects after the workshop.
This workshop will be held in the Langmuir Education Room located on the 1st floor of the Rock Ford Barn.
