Welcome to Briarwood Folk Art hooked rugs and hand-made folk art intended to evoke nostalgia and memories of the past.
We create folk art as an outlet for creativity and sharing with others and work primarily with natural products: fabric, wood, paper mache and chalkware.
Our appreciation for folk art stems from a love of all things old and holiday oriented. As an escape from our corporate and government day-jobs, my husband and I create folk art for fun more than profit.
In May 2006 my curiosity about traditional rug hooking led me to take on hobby number "107" as my husband would say, and I haven't stopped hooking since. You will find our work on this website, at select folk art shows in Northern California and occassionally on eBay.
The Rugs button will lead you to hooked rugs currently for sale. The Patterns button takes you to our selection of original Briarwood Folk Art rug hooking patterns. The Gallery button leads to pictures of our patterns hooked by various artists so you can see a variety of colors and styles used in the patterns. If you hook one of our patterns and send us a picture that can be used in the Gallery section, we will extend a 20% discount on your next pattern purchase!
By using the This and That button you will find other folk art offerings such as paper mache with seasonal themes.
I hope looking at our folk art brings you many smiles!
Bless you and happy hooking, Kathy Clark.
