What is tufting?
Tufting is a time-honoured craft that has been around for generations, but it’s recently been transformed by modern technology. At our workshops, you’ll get hands-on experience using a tufting machine—a fascinating tool that allows you to create your own stunning rugs with ease.
What’s really exciting is how tufting blends traditional crafting methods with today’s innovative technology. It opens up a world of creativity, allowing you to experiment and express your personal style in a whole new way. Whether you’re a seasoned crafter or a complete beginner, our workshops offer a fun and welcoming environment to explore this unique art form.
So, What is tufting really?
Imagine shooting colourful yarn into a specially woven fabric to create delightful, fluffy designs. It’s like painting with texture! While the tufting machine might look a bit intimidating at first, don’t worry! With a little guidance on how to hold it and the right amount of pressure, you’ll be amazed at the beautiful pieces you can create in these beginner friendly tufting workshops.

What to expect?
Knowing what type of design you’d like to make on the day is a great way to start your workshop. No matter how complicated or simple your original idea is, we can help you translate it into the perfect tufted piece. We ask that you tie your hair up for the workshop, as the machine is a power tool, it’s always good to avoid tangles. For our longer workshops we encourage you to take a break, grab a snack and come back to craft. The machine isn’t heavy, roughly 2kg, but we find having a small break really helps you to feel relaxed throughout the class. Unfortunately tufting workshops are for 16+ due to the nature of the machine and equipment.
