Welcome
The Beaconsfield Hooking Crafters Guild is a non-profit organization which was founded as a guild in 1975. It is located on the West Island, 25 minutes from downtown Montreal. Our objective is to keep rug hooking alive as a fibre art form and develop it further to include rugs, pictorials, sculpted pieces, cushions, stool covers and much more.
We hope that you will enjoy this travel around the rug hooking world and that you become as "hooked" as we are.

A Message from the
Co-President
It is an honour to serve as a newly appointed co-president of the Beaconsfield Hooking Crafters Guild. Although I am a newcomer to the craft, I am a practicing artist with my BFA in Art History and Studio Art from Concordia University, with a particular focus on Fibre Arts.
Fibre arts have always held a special place in my family.
Quilting, needlework, and other creative traditions have been passed down through generations, along with a deep appreciation for making something beautiful and useful by hand.
I am also proud to trace my roots back to Loyalist settlers in New England and the Maritimes, who brought with them a resourcefulness, and determination to create new lives with what they had. Including a wonderful tradition of rug hooking.
I am eager to learn more about this art form, to understand its techniques and traditions, and to incorporate new skills into my own creative repertoire.
I look forward to learning from each of you, sharing in our collective knowledge, and helping our Guild continue to thrive.
Whether you are an experienced hooker or have never picked up a rug hook before, all are welcome. Come discover the history, creativity, and joy of rug hooking—and try this amazing craft for yourself!
Warmly,
Erin Morehouse
Co-President, [BHCG]
