Learn the craft of rug hooking if you are new to the craft or work on an existing project if you are a seasoned rug hooker at "The Island Hook-In" taught by Roberta Conti. This session will show newcomers how to do rug hooking and get advice on starting a project of their own. Roberta advises watching a Youtube video by Gene Shepard or a tutorial by Sara Beth Black to get an idea of the process. This session, you can continue your new project and fine tune your new skill of rug hooking.

Hello! My name is Alexandra de Groen and I am a senior at Portsmouth High School. For my senior project, I am hosting an ocean themed art exhibition. I was hoping I could host it at the Portsmouth Library. This is very important to me due to love of the ocean and I will be attending college in the fall for Art History/Museum Curation. Art work would be included from my fellow students along with members of the Portsmouth Community. Please feel free to contact me and come see some lovely art. Thank You!
