  • 5/5 from Daniela Fernandez, attended Mar 2024: 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!

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.

Tuft City was founded in 2020 by Brisbane artist/muralist Benjamin Reeve.
With a degree in Visual Arts and a Masters in Creative Advertising, Benjamin was set to complete his Doctorate as the world started closing its doors.
No longer able to continue his research, teach or paint outdoors, Benjamin discovered a 'tufting' video on TikTok and his love of fibre arts, an area first discovered as a child growing up in Papua New Guinea, was rekindled.
Compelled to learn everything he could about rug-making, Benjamin set to work gathering all the supplies and tools needed and now works hand-in-hand with factories and suppliers promoting rug-making and ensuring accessibility for all Australian creatives.
