Tufting Class for Beginners: Make Your Own Rugs
I loved it! We ran out of time because there were some technical issues (power out)
Benjamin was lovely, just needs to be more organised.
Will benefit from writing a list of topics to discuss in class; 1: introduce self 2: introduce class 3: talk about the craft. ECT. Keep everything timed to only 2-3 min
The materials were good only at the end we ran out of time, everything was rushed we didn’t get to learn about backings on the carpets properly. It was a very rushed 1, 2, 3
I really loved tufting the most. It was so much fun!

Celebrated my partners birthday with this class, and so glad we did! Benjamin was a fab teacher and we had some great chats whilst tufting. The venue was super cool with lots of art on display. Overall a great morning and we got to take home some amazing rugs!

A fantastic couple of hours. Felt daunted when I came in and saw my beetle drawn up. Benjamin was wonderful, walked me through the process.
Got the tufting done and rug finished in the designated time which was great as it is a gift for a friend.

What an amazing workshop! Had a blast doing this workshop and with Ben who was the teacher. He was so informative, and everything was provided that we needed. My daughter and I had so much fun learning and making our own rugs as beginners. I would highly recommend this for anyone wanting to learn how to make their own rug. Using the hand held electric tool for tufting was so easy! I am definitely going to book and go again.

This class was great! As someone who had never made rugs before we were made to feel totally at ease and calm - which allowed us to enjoy the experience so much more! Benjamin had us smiling the entire time and we left with some amazing rugs! We will be back again - we couldn’t recommend this more

The workshop was very interesting. All materials were provided. Benny was nice and helpful. I find the price quite high for a group session. However, my son is very happy that he participated in this workshop. We brought home an incredibly beautiful rug. I didn't think my son could do that. Our cat liked the rug straight away. It seems he feels a connection with this rug.

Thanks to Ben for sharing his love of tufting with this class. He is very talented and provides a fun time when teaching. He makes it easy to understand the process and offers helpful tips as you go. Good fun and a great sense of accomplishment to walk away with something you have done yourself.

Ben is a great tutor and I enjoyed our one on one time creating a cute rug for my granddaughter that only needs small tidying up and trimming jobs before it will be given to her. The venue was good, everything was provided and I learnt great new techniques.

The class was great. Very early going, this is my first tufting class. I have never seen or anything like that
Ben (Tuft City) was patient and explained how everything worked. Including the importance behind each step to make sure the end result would be good. Very flexible on ideas and helped when ever I got stuck with circles. A patient teacher really helps me when I create. Would highly recommend taking this course with Ben.

This class was so much fun and Ben and Nitan were great. Ben was very passionate and knowledgable about tufting as well as fun and supportive - they provided a safe (and judge free) place to learn and be creative. All materials and tools provided were of high quality and I love that everything was supplied, I only left with my finished piece! Tufting was a lot of fun to learn and perform, I truly enjoyed the class and would definitely recommend!

This workshop was great! We achieved a lot in the time allowed, and get to take home a gun, a finished piece and some new skills!
Ben is informative, and it was great to be able to discuss any problems or hacks that he has discovered in his time as a tufter. Really great day of fun AND learning. Thanks Ben!

What a wonderful creative day. Tuft City’s Ben and Naten were very welcoming, knowledgeable and supportive with the craft of tufting ensuring best practice. All equipment was supplied and the class numbers were just right. I very much appreciate Bens very generous offer to professionally glue the back of our completed rugs and I look forward to having it in my home. The venue was great and catered to everyone’s needs. I would recommend Tuftcity and classbento to all creatives.
