Rug Tufting Workshop

Bring your favourite picture to be made into a tufted rug



5 hours Location Canning Vale Class size 1 to 5 guests   $210 - $230 ($230 per guest when you book for 1 guest, $210/guest for 2+ guests) (Afterpay available)

Workshop and play with the team at Shades & Co Studios, where fun, colour, and creativity fill the air. Our studio currently has our 2026 exhibition showing, and it's a place where you can meet other creative people. The 'Tufting Studio' is one of our newest studios, with wrought iron-built standing frames.
Make your very own tufted rug. Bring a picture or use one of the studio's. No previous drawing skills required. Take a picture on your phone, and we will project it onto the fabric for you to trace. Then the fun begins. In this class, you will be taught how to thread and use a tufting gun.
This is a 4-5 hour class, depending on speed. Some people like to take their time; others like to set a pace. Work at your own speed. You will also be served morning tea, snacks with soft drinks, and water, and you may sit in the studio lounge or at your workstation.
Once your work is completed, you'll learn how to cut, seal, and place the backing for your rug.

  • 5/5 from Cailyn Lau, attended Oct 2026: My friend and I really enjoyed our session. The teachers were helpful and guided us through the process. We were very happy with the final product. Highly recommended to try tufting.
  • 5/5 from Joey Yorke, attended Oct 2026: This was an enjoyable course. It is a long course but i loved we got to finish a decent sized piece of art. I would do this again

A Life of Fashion, Art and Gold & Creativity
For more than 20 years, Melbourne has been the backdrop to my creative life.
By trade, I am both a Fashion Designer and Goldsmith — two crafts that have shaped who I am and allowed me to express my creativity in very different, yet beautifully connected ways.
Currently working from Shades & Co Studios in Perth, where fun and creative outlook happens daily in the Studio. In the Studio I design and exhibit paintings, Resin Art, Tufting, Jewellery making.
My journey has been built around a love of colour, texture, form and individuality. I have always been drawn to creating pieces that feel personal — clothing and jewellery that aren't simply worn, but become part of the person wearing them.
Melbourne has provided the perfect place for that creativity to grow. Over the years, I have taken my work to some of the city's much-loved markets, including The Abbotsford Convent Market and the Queen Victoria Twilight Market, along with numerous designer and independent markets throughout Melbourne.
Working as a Goldsmith has given me an appreciation for precision, craftsmanship and the beauty of working with precious materials. Fashion, on the other hand, has allowed me to explore movement, colour, shape and expression. Together, the two disciplines have given me a creative language that is uniquely my own.
Over two decades of designing, making and selling in Melbourne have taught me that creativity is not simply about following trends. It is about developing your own voice, trusting your instincts and continuing to evolve.
My work has always been about individuality.
Whether I am working with fabric, precious metals, colour or form, painting and Resin Art, I am happiest when I am creating something that feels alive — something unexpected, something beautiful, and something that allows another person to express who they are.
Art and colour is the journey.
And most importantly, the freedom to keep creating.
My story is still being written — one design, one piece of jewellery, one colour and one idea at a time.
