Welcome

The New Brunswick Mat Registry – a Canadian group of volunteers in partnership with the New Brunswick Museum – has travelled the province since 2005 documenting hooked mats made more than twenty-five years ago.

We are excited to share Hands, Heart and Mind – The Art of Hooked Mats in New Brunswick where the stories of mat makers and their creations are featured. Explore all the cataloguing and photographs in our searchable New Brunswick Mat Registry Database.

Find out more details on selected pieces in our Featured Mats. Use our Resources to share the history of this popular and evolving art form. News will keep you up-to-date with current activities and if you have a mat, direct you to our in-person registries. Check our Blog for thoughtful discussions and information on this popular and evolving art.

We hope you enjoy our website as much as we have had collaborating to create it!
