The International Guild of Handhooking Rugmakers

Introduction to TIGHR.net

The purpose of TIGHR shall be to promote international interaction
among rughooking artists, to provide opportunities for exchange of
ideas and information and to encourage exploration into tradition,
culture, and history of rug making techniques. The policy is to share
and enjoy, rather than judge each other's work. Every three years a
new Board is elected and is responsible for continuity of the guild. We
have travelled from England, between Canada, United States and
Wales so far.

The above are accomplished via this website, a quarterly newsletter
and tri-ennial conferences. The US Board announces the 2009
conference site to be in Louisville, Kentucky, Sept 20-23 at the
Seelbach Hilton Hotel.
.
Membership is available for one year term until Fall 09 when three year term will
be announced by new Board.
