Local Artist Creates Traditional Hand-Crafted Rugs

About Blog Post Dec 8, 2022 by SCLSNJ
The Art Space at Somerset County Library System of New Jersey’s (SCLSNJ) Warren branch has installed a new arts display to share with residents throughout the months of December 2022 and January 2023. Fiber artist Lucy Walsh, of Clinton, has been creating hand-crafted hooked rugs in the traditional style since 1990. “My rugs are all original designs and are born from a spark somewhere in my head or heart," said Walsh. "The goal is to capture a subject hooked in wool that has a special meaning to me, and which is aesthetically pleasing to others.” Continued Walsh, "I hope that you will find a rug that speaks to you and lights a spark in your heart, too." Discover hooked rugs: Or, email ask@sclibnj.org for additional librarian-curated resources. The art display will be available to view during regular hours of operation. The Warren branch is located at 42 Mountain Boulevard in Warren. For more information, email Kathy DeCristofaro at kdecristofaro@sclibnj.org.
