In the March/April/May 2012 issue of Rug Hooking Magazine, Jo Franco, editor and web administrator for TIGHR wrote about pulling together a continent of rugmakers with Judith Stephens and forming the Australian Rugmakers Guild AND bringing the International Guild of Handhooking Rugmakers to OZ for three years (2009-2012).

The variety of art portrayed with the images and journeys the artists have travelled to congregate, and educate is fascinating.  Expect to hear more about the Australian experiences in print and online.
