Retreats 2022

Rug Hooking Week Retreats, taught by outstanding teachers from across the United States, are held in the ideal setting – Sauder Heritage Inn. During Rug Hooking Week, you will:

• be inspired by the extensive exhibits,
• expand your knowledge & skills in diverse classes,
• shop for supplies & merchandise from unique vendors,
• meet up with old friends and make new ones, and
• simply relax & have fun in scenic northwest Ohio.

With all venues being located on the Sauder Village campus; it is a short walk from retreats to the historic village and its traditional craft shops, the rug exhibit and vendors in Founder’s Hall, the Barn Restaurant and the Doughbox Bakery. These are just a few reasons why so many rug hookers and fiber artists come back year after year, from around the globe, to participate in Rug Hooking Week!

• Skill Level - A “minimum” of basic rug hooking (or relevant) skills and knowledge is required to register for all retreats, some require additional skills. If you have never hooked or don’t have basic skills, we suggest our Basic Rug Hooking for Beginners Workshop or any of the Workshops which don’t require prior experience. Note the “Level” in each class description.

• Supplies & Supply Fees In our Workshops, we list the workshop supply or kit fee and an itemized list of what it includes. Retreats are different. Since the retreat lasts 3 or 4 days, the projects tend to be widely varied in both size and supplies, so there is no “standard” retreat supply/kit fee. When the teacher contacts you, you will be able to select and discuss your project, as well as the supply fees. 
• Advanced Preparation – In some cases, a teacher may require you to do something in advance, prior to the start of the retreat. If advanced preparation is required, it with be listed in that retreat’s description, along with the action required. (For example, this could be hooking, taking photos, or other actions.) If you have questions, you may discuss it with the teacher when she contacts you. It is important to complete this advanced preparation, as it will directly affect your retreat experience.
