Kris upcoming classes and events in 2020 dear rug braiding and rug hooking friends i hope that you are staying healthy wearing a mask and finding time for community work and art work during this challenging time for our world. No one else s work resembles her efforts. My favorite is her new rug labyrinth a large round 7 circuit labyrinth.

Kris mcdermet has been braiding for 40 years and fell in love with braiding on hooking during her first braiding class when her teacher isabel clough mentioned that she had seen a few hooked rugs with a row of braid on the outside creating a frame. Kris mcdermet left with her award winning rug. Kris mcdermet s rugs which combine techniques of traditional hooking and rug braiding are a strong beacon indicating a mature artist s sensibility. She began hooking and soon her rugs had rows of braid to compliment the hooking.
