Recent reviews of Custom Tufted Rug Making Workshop - Open Session

  • 5/5 from Kalila Mathews, attended Aug 2026: This was so fun! I made a mini lime rug for my cats and it looks awesome! Great teaching, easy to understand, fun to do and a chill environment. It’s good to do as a date or alone, I highly recommend this activity.
  • 5/5 from Vanessa Noble, attended Aug 2026: Amazing workshop. Very professional and fun. So lovely to meet other like minded people I loved it
  • 5/5 from Rebecca Gardiner, attended Aug 2026: Great class, very informative and friendly. Highly recommend!!
  • 5/5 from Danielle Napier, attended Jul 2026: I learnt how to tuft for the first time, it definitely helped I had sewing experience but I feel anyone could pick it up. Lots of people in the class made amazing rugs and if you choose a fairly simple design, it'll be a breeze! The teachers were very supportive, class size was manageable (max 12 people). A bottle of water and a chocolate is provided so bring a snack if you need it!
  • 5/5 from Katarina Lathouwers, attended Jul 2026: Got this as a birthday gift for my sister and I to do together. It was so fun! Ben is a great teacher and you get a really cute rug to keep at the end of it. I highly recommend.
  • 5/5 from Karen Suzanne Stone, attended Jul 2026: I'm so glad I committed to the beginner's class in tufting with Benjamin and Karen. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The process was quite physical when using the gun and it took me time to feel confident with the tufting techniques. I used a complicated design and I'm slow at doing anything so I needed Karen's help to finish within the time frame of the class. Benjamin explained the tufting process well and was very supportive. My class mates were also positive and encouraging. My little floral rug looks quite delightful in my home and my cat loves curling up on it. I would recommend this class to anyone wanting to give tufting a go. Thanks so much Benjamin and Karen!
  • 5/5 from Melanie Rayner, attended Apr 2026: Amazing teachers, very helpful and we will be back again.
  • 5/5 from Lisa Pisasale, attended Apr 2026: I took my niece for her birthday and we had the best time. Everyone was so helpful. Highly recommend 10/10
  • 5/5 from Grace Renford, attended Feb 2026: This was so satisfying and addictive. Everyone was so supportive and a wonderful creative environment was made by Benjamin and his team. We loved it- highly recommend.
  • 5/5 from Sonja Gustafson, attended Feb 2026: Great class. Once book, draw your own design, review the photo pages of past classes to give you an idea of past students. Don’t be late, arrive minimum 5 minutes before start time. Wear whatever is comfy, bring glasses if need. Instructions on how class runs, how to use the tufting gun and safety issues are clear & concise. Anyone under 16 would need to be a mature & focused individual to compete the class unaided. Ben is very skilled, passionate & committed to his art & extremely knowledgable. Attended a full session with 11 other students. Will definitely consider a longer private small group class to follow up.
  • 5/5 from Jenna Turner, attended Jan 2026: We had such a great time in the tuft rug making workshop. Benjamin was an incredibly patient and encouraging teacher. He explained each step clearly and made the whole process feel fun rather than intimidating. My favourite part was watching the rug slowly come to life as the colours filled in. There was something really satisfying about seeing the design take shape, and Benjamin created such a relaxed atmosphere that it was easy to get into the flow. If you’re looking for a creative class that’s hands‑on, calming, and genuinely enjoyable, this one is definitely worth it.

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.
