Hi everyone!
I'm Ben a Perth based artist who has been tufting rugs since early 2020. I'm a qualified glazier specialising in art glass but have been working with a softer material (yarn and wool) for a few years now.
I'm one half of "Good Rugs" a Fremantle based rug tufting company and I also tuft rugs under the name "Fish Apple".
I've made rugs for businesses and made many privately commissioned pieces. I've worked with the City of Melville on a multi sensory rug for their ParkArt 2022 project and had a rug featured in an ArtLovers exhibition this year.
I run music jam sessions and workshops when I'm not tufting or I'm at the beach with my doggo Senke!
