Recent reviews of Tufting 101 Class: Create Your Own Custom Rug

5/5 from Jocelyn Dang, attended Sep 2026: Such a fun experience! I did the rug tufting class with my best friend for her birthday and we had the best time. I’m not usually a very creative person, but the teachers made the whole process so easy, fun and enjoyable. They were so lovely, patient and helpful throughout the class. It was such a fun activity to do together and I would 100% do it again. Definitely recommend it!
5/5 from Brett Newton, attended Aug 2026: Experience 10/10 Staff 10/10 Memories made forever We had an amazing day thanks to everyone involved at ClassBento, we are definitely coming back

5/5 from Lian Meacco, attended Jun 2026: I took the 60x60cm, 3 hour class, and made myself a road sign. The teacher gave clear instruction and was always available to help. There were time marks to help us pace ourselves, and also assurances that they would help us fix it if we ran out of time or majorly stuffed up. Location was easy to find and get to with public transport.
5/5 from Hayden Warren, attended Jun 2026: I got this lesson as a gift and it was so easy to book and one of the best craft classes I have ever done and the rug as a reward is even better. The teachers gave very good instruction on how to use the tufting gun and made sure to keep an eye out if we struggled plus went over each rug to make sure we were taking home a fluffy rug. This was so much fun and will definitely be doing this again!
5/5 from Kristopher Pallant, attended Jun 2026: Dunston was an amazing instructor who gave us plenty of breathing room to work on our rug yet was always close enough if we needed assistance or expert opinion.

Great fun, great service - you really do get rugs just like the ones you see in the photos. Easy to follow instructions, super helpful and friendly staff. A great creative day out. Highly recommend to friends or partners. The price is worth it, and I would definitely go back again! (23-year-old male)

5/5 from Sarah Draycott, attended Jan 2026: I was pleased my teacher had checked ahead of time and noted that there would be an extreme heatwave on the day of my workshop and was proactive and responsive to send and reply to text messages to reschedule the workshop to a later date.
5/5 from Sharon W Chu, attended Jan 2026: Fun way to learn rug tufting. I enjoyed spending time with my sister doing the workshop and the teachers are very friendly and helpful. A wonderful result bringing home your own custom designed rug.
5/5 from Jackie Mak, attended Jan 2026: Such a fun first-time tufting experience! You send in your design beforehand so they can trace it out before the class starts. On the day, they walk you through how to use the tufting gun and let you practice first, which was super helpful. They gave lots of tips throughout and helped fix up any areas that needed it. Would definitely recommend!
5/5 from Darshika Puvinathan, attended Jan 2026: very easy to follow instructions and teachers were very kind. they checked in often and offered advice too. lovely class and would definitely do again :)
5/5 from Mia Della Valentina, attended Dec 2025: Rug tufting is something I've been wanting to do forever, and I'm so glad I had my first experience here!

5/5 from Jessica Potter, attended Dec 2025: We had a fantastic time and the team was incredibly helpful and kind. Everyone left the class with genuinely beautiful rugs so I would absolutely recommend this class to everyone!
5/5 from Chloe Du Bois, attended Dec 2025: Highly recommend this class! Our Teachers were very friendly and went above and beyond to ensure our custom rugs looked amazing!
5/5 from Sonia Fedyczkowski, attended Dec 2025: The staff here were super friendly and very helpful. They were patient and kind and made the whole session a pleasure to be in. It was overall a super fun experience. Do some stretches periodically as your back can start to hurt after a while. I would still highly recommend this activity. It is so fun and the staff take excellent care of you!
4/5 from Jacob Varghese, attended Dec 2025: Tried tufting for the first time! I do wish my design was a little simpler - but that's my bad. But the instructor's were really helpful and supportive throughout. I do wish there were more colour options for the yarn though. But overall, fantastic experience would definitely do it again!
5/5 from Tamara Kempton, attended Nov 2025: Fun event, plenty of time to complete the rug. The detailing could be done at leisure which was nice. Good supportive teachers, very clear instructions. Music was shat but fun vibe anyways.
5/5 from Brodie Styles, attended Nov 2025: Great Teachers and really fun class
5/5 from Selin Lanzafame, attended Nov 2025: My friend and I did this course as a birthday gift to her - we had a great time. It is notably physical so make sure you keep that in mind. Definitely would recommend the team is lovely and the end product is awesome
5/5 from Kristy Chu, attended Nov 2025: I had a wonderful experience with Tuftea. The staff were extremely helpful and patient. Making the rug was really fun!
4/5 from Michelle Lui, attended Nov 2025: I went together with my daughter. It was our first time tufting. It was a little tricky at the beginning but we quickly got the hang of it. The instructors were very friendly and super patient and helpful. We followed the instructions about keeping our rug design simple since it was our first time. We are very happy with how our rugs turned out. Thanks so much!
4/5 from Mia Effie Mats, attended Nov 2025: The rug making class was fun, the helpers were lovely and eager to help. The final product was amazing to see it come to life. Thank you for the rxperience
4/5 from Han Liu, attended Nov 2025: It's a wonderful experience, full of fun and joy.
5/5 from Zoe Aris, attended Oct 2025: Such a unique experience, perfect to do with your friends as a different experience and activity.
5/5 from Garreth Pepler, attended Oct 2025: Fun Sunday outing! Our teacher, Dunstan was great. Quickly showed us the ropes and off we went! The tufting process was quite cathartic, and we had loads of fun compiling our pieces. We paid for the professional sheer and refinement which I think we won't do next time, as we felt we lost out on the experience. We recieved our pieces very quickly and it's a beautiful addition to our room decor. It's a great indoor activity for rainy days and I highly recommend it. We're already booked in for the next session!
5/5 from Maree Hynes, attended Oct 2025: This class was excellent and great value for money. With the teachers expert guidance everyone in the class produced a really high quality rug that they were pleased and proud of. A great way to spend a Saturday afternoon.
5/5 from Conrado Todio, attended Oct 2025: Teachers were both amazing! So accommodating and understanding. Both were very knowledgeable in the craft and answered all our questions. Definitely recommended going, well worth the price.
5/5 from Sophia Jones, attended Aug 2025: This was an amazing experience! Everyone was so helpful and positive. Super easy to learn and very rewarding once you finish! I love my rug so much and I’m thinking about booking another class already!
5/5 from Jessica Lee, attended Aug 2025: Fun filled activity! Alongside Helpful and friendly team. Would be happy to come back again for another session, surely. Might do better next time
5/5 from Heidi Cheung, attended Aug 2025: I had so much fun! I was struggling a bit at the beginning but end up I made my own rug. Staff are super friendly and willing to assist. Thank you so much.
5/5 from Jordan Barratt, attended Aug 2025: It was very engaging and the staff were able to assist
5/5 from Justin Williams, attended Aug 2025: Great class, lots of fun!
5/5 from Michelle Attard, attended Aug 2025: The teachers were really friendly and helped to create a relaxed atmosphere. They were really supportive and encouraging, with lots of great tips. I loved that the initial outline of my design was set up in advance and then I could focus on choosing the colour scheme and tufting process!
5/5 from Natasha Demers, attended Aug 2025: Absolutely amazing class!! There were plenty of instructors for the group ensuing everyone had the support they needed. The team was very patient, kind and attentive. There were a good selection of colors and our designs were already outlined when we arrived so we didn’t waste any time and got straight into it after the demonstration. To the team at TuftTea, thank you for an amazing day, we absolutely adore our rugs!!
5/5 from Jade, attended Jul 2025: Awesome activity! There was plenty time to complete each step without feeling rushed. Lots of help when needed and produced a really nice rug :) highly recommend!
5/5 from Fran, attended Jul 2025: My daughters got me this as a gift— we each made a mat. I hadn’t done tufting before. It was easy to pick up. The teachers were awesome— there to help when needed or requested. Their patience was amazing! A fun activity for an individual or a small group.
5/5 from Gabi Newman, attended Jul 2025: The staff were so kind and helpful! The environment is fantastic and we had such a fun time! It’s great for all ages (we took our mum and she loved it too!)
5/5 from Reannan Duong, attended Jun 2025: Very fun and a different experience from the usual classes out there. The teachers were very friendly and helpful. I recommend that you eat beforehand though or bring some snacks because it is a long class!
5/5 from Kyle Bramich, attended Jun 2025: It was a great experience, it was chill vibes and we felt at home. Both of the teachers were helpful and made us feel confident in our beginner skills. We loved working our way through the initial tufting process, would definitely do it again perhaps with a larger group.
5/5 from Jasmin Medina, attended Jun 2025: Super fun the we're actually now planning our next booking
