Tufting Workshops
What is tufting?
When people first see a tufting set up they are often intrigued in what tufting is. Tufting is a form of rug making that has been around for many years. Using a power assisted tufting machine, you shoot yarn into woven fabric to create a fluffy or looped rug. Tufting has been revolutionised in recent years due to the availability and affordability of industrial machines. Although the initial look of the machine can be intimidating, with the right pressure and angle you can create some beautiful and effective pieces. Its great to see such a traditional craft form adapt with modern technology to create a unique crafting experience.
What to expect!
In one of our standard 4 hour workshops you will have the chance to design and create your very own 40x40cm rug or wall hanging. We will walk you through the basics of the tufting machines and get you tufting within minutes. Although we get you started straight away we allow plenty of time in our workshops for you to relax, take your time and practise. You will be provided with top quality equipment including strong tufting cloth and a range of yarn colours to ensure you can capture all your details and end with a durable bespoke piece.
