The Ontario Hooking Craft Guild:
The Ontario Hooking Craft Guild was formed in 1966
to encourage excellence of craftsmanship in the art of rug hooking, to
foster an awareness of beauty in color and design, and to provide
opportunities for the exchange of ideas and information among members of
the Guild. In 1972, the Teachers’ Branch was formed, where a member can
pursue certification as an O.H.C.G. Teacher. A newsletter was developed
to report on executive meetings each year and coming events. It also
brought news from the various rug hooking branches that had formed
throughout the province. For more information about meetings and
