The Wanneroo Rugmakers meet every Saturday from 10.00am to 1.00pm at the Library in Wanneroo 26k north of the city of Perth.
This community group was formed in 2010 and have worked together on rug hooking projects some now part of the City’s art collection.
Looking back, the group considers their entry, a finalist in the Eco category and included in the “Showcase” Mandurah Wearable Art 2014, their most challenging work.
This multi-cultural, intergenerational group is open to all, there’s no formal registration. The core group, 10 creative members share their ideas on various craft techniques as well as the rug hooked projects. Jo Franco, Guild Editor/Membership Chair, is the Group facilitator and has given rug hooking lessons to local seniors and school children. The group has held “hands-on” demonstrations at many local area events and Perth Craft Fairs.
