Rug Hooking Magazine Wildfowl Carving Magazine

Rug Hooking Magazine – Rug Hooking magazine is published five times per year, and is available in some book and craft stores, and by subscription. Our goal is to provide high-quality articles and photographs about the art and craft of rug hooking, and how-to articles on techniques and projects. We are the only four-color publication that is devoted entirely to this unique fiber art. And with thousands of rug hookers reading the magazine, no publication gives you greater access to the artists themselves. Whether a reader’s interests lie in traditional patterns, primitive styles, or original designs, Rug Hooking provides how-to articles on planning, dyeing, shading, and hooking. Instructional articles are complemented by features on such topics as hooked stair runners, clothing, wall hangings, decorations, and more, all beautifully illustrated with page after page of color photography. Rug Hooking also entices beginning rug hookers into the fold with a free pattern in every issue.

 

Wildfowl Carving Magazine – Wildfowl Carving magazine is published quarterly, and is available by subscription and in some book stores. We are the only magazine for bird carvers. From the simple lines of an antique decoy to the ultra-realistic, feather-perfect rendering of today’s painted wooden birds, wildfowl carving has become an art that attracts collectors. Within the pages of this quarterly magazine, leaders in the field share the secrets for burning, texturing, and painting. Our readers learn all the latest techniques and see the best reference material available. Waterfowl, raptors, songbirds, shorebirds—we cover the whole spectrum of birds. Readers turn to us for start-to-finish projects, fascinating interviews, and informative articles on a variety of topics, from how to design an effective carving to how to safely ship your work. As the recognized leader in the field, we take pride in providing a forum for artists to push wildfowl carving to new heights.
