Accompanied by a lovely dulcimer and piano soundtrack, this introduction to the art of primitive rug making, written and produced by Elizabeth Anchor, uses good close-ups, and offers plenty of finished examples of beautiful rugs. Viewers are shown what supplies are needed, and then given demonstrations of the basic rug hooking technique. Although a fairly simple craft, the filmmakers point out the most common problems made by beginners, and offer tips on patterns and selecting loop size. The program concludes with a bibliography of primitive rug hooking books. A good inexpensive crafts program, and one likely to be popular. Recommended.
