Public Reception for Rug Whimsy: Hand-Hooked Stories in Wool by Kristina Burnett

Tiger Paws by Kristina Burnett

There will be a public reception in the Ledyard Gallery on Saturday, April 3 from 2pm  - 4pm for the exhibit of artwork by Kristina Burnett. The exhibit, from April 3 to April 28, is titled Rug Whimsy: Hand-Hooked Stories in Wool.

The rugs in this exhibit have been hooked over the past four years, using wide-cut, hand-dyed wools to produce original pieces that range from primitive to contemporary in color, texture and design. Many of these rugs have a small story to tell about a moment in the artist's life.

Kris balances a significant part of her time between hooking rugs in rural Canaan and working as a librarian at Howe Library, so she is especially pleased to see her two passions meet at the April show, “Rug Whimsy: Hand-Hooked Stories in Wool”,  at Howe Library.

Date: April 3, 2010
Time: 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Location: Ledyard Gallery
