In the 1800s, women began making hooked rugs for their floors out of old clothes, using simple hand drawn patterns. Today, the process has remained the same, but the materials and patterns have evolved, with artists such as Gail Dufresne creating original patterns for others to hook. State of the Arts visits Gail at her studio in Lambertville. (Excerpt from the State of the Arts special, Culture in Context).
