In this beginner-friendly class, participants will discover the incredibly satisfying craft of rug tufting! Students will learn how to create a hand-tufted piece from start to finish. After learning how to use a tufting machine, students will spend their time tufting a small rug (22” x 22”) in a design of their choosing. Most students will also have time to glue and finish their piece. Students should choose designs that are fairly simple in order to insure they can leave with a finished product in hand. Feel free to come to the workshop with a couple ideas in mind. High quality rug wool in a range of fun colors will be provided.
🥨 Snacks and beverages available for purchase, but you can always BYOB!
