This is a selection of rugs from our September 2010 retrospective exhibition, held at Centennial Hall, to celebrate the Guild’s 35th anniversary. Designed and Hooked by Claire Fradette Maple Leaves by Claire Fradette This rug is my own design. While taking walks around Beaconsfield, I picked up leaves and then traced them on burlap. I dyed the wool for the leaves and the background is recycled wool. The cut is #6. Hooked by Maria Romero Kamchatka by Maria Romero A photo [1] of the Uzon Caldera in Russia inspired the design for this rug. The composition of the picture and the beauty and colours of the caldera in Autumn impressed me. These volcanoes are situated in the Kamchatka Peninsula on the Pacific Coast of Russia and are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The rug, which measures 20 in. x 29 in., is hooked on a linen foundation with no. 3 and no. 6 cut wool. [1] Photographer Christian Gluckman © Caldeira d’Uzon – Kamchatka Penins
