"We were excited to provide an in-depth look at rug making and the intricacies of textile design, two of the world's most beautiful art forms," said Mahmud Jafri, Dover Rug & Home's chief executive officer. "For years we've sponsored a successful educational program for children, introducing them to the art of rug making. This event expanded on that idea to incorporate fabrics and was one the entire family could enjoy."

Dover Rug & Home offers customers an extensive collection of fine rugs (including one-of-a-kind hand-knotted rugs and carpets), custom window treatments and hardwood floor options. Showrooms are located in Natick and Boston.
