About the Instructor: Carol Smith

Carol began rug hooking about 25 years ago by attending a continuing education class at night in the nearby high school, and she found a passion.  Loving the textures and color interactions of the materials, the calming act of rug hooking, the creativity inspired by this art and the wonderful community of fellow rug hookers, she has continued to expand her knowledge through attending rug schools, workshops, Guilds and community groups.  Her “Lure of England” landscape was a finalist in the Celebration of Hand Hooked Rugs competition in 2021.
