Rug Hooking Returns to Sterling House
Background on SHCC's Rug Hooking course and instructor.
The Sterling House Community Center is excited to announce this fall’s launch of the Adult Rug Hooking courses. Classes are scheduled to run for six weeks on Tuesday evenings between 6:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. The first class starts on September 18th.
This year’s instructor is Benita Raleigh, who manages the Fancywork Rug Barn in Norwalk. Benita has taught rug hooking for a number of years and is a member of Traditional Rug Hooking and was recently the President of the Goodwives Rug Hooking Chapter of the ATHA. Annually, she attends the McGovern Teachers Workshops, which is a well regarded organization dedicated in training rug hookers in the art of teaching the craft.
The fee for the six week course is $60.00 plus current Sterling House Membership. Materials can be purchased from the instructor. For more information, please contact Ray O’Donnell, Program Director at (203) 378-2606 Ext 110 or by email at RO'Donnell@sterlinghousecc.org.
