Beth McDermet; Rugs Reception

Beth has been hooking rugs since 2003. She draws on the history of textiles. New England craftspeople made hooked rugs out of old burlap bags and worn-out clothes to make rugs and bed covers for warmth. Her work evokes that practicality. Story rugs make up a part of her work, and these are reflective of the past as well. Her love of color is evident in all the work. This art show will open on January 9th and run through February 28th. The Reception will be Friday, January 23rd, from 4-6 pm.
