We are a rug hooking group based in Ottawa, Ontario with members from across the Ottawa Valley and into Western Quebec. We’ve been meeting regularly since our first meeting on January 20, 1977, almost 50 years ago.

Members are optionally individually affiliated with the Ontario Hooking Craft Guild (OHCG) and Ottawa Olde Forge Rug Hooking is recognized as an OHCG branch within Area 1. OHCG provides a connection to rug hooking throughout the province of Ontario and Western Quebec.

Our members hook and punch needle in a wide range of styles using a variety of backings. They also incorporate other fibre arts — for example, felting and embroidery — into their pieces.

Ottawa Olde Forge Rug Hooking usually hosts a hook-in in the spring of each year. The event attracts rug hookers and punch needlers from across the region, and beyond.
