Mirror mirror on the wall, who’s the fluffiest of them all? Jump onboard the world’s latest craft obsession in this tufting workshop!
Easy to pick up and hard to put down, tufting is primarily used in rug making and can be applied to a plethora of projects, including pillows, art pieces, furniture, and clothing. The only limit is your imagination. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn tufting fundamentals and come away with your own custom, one-of-a-kind mirror.
We’ll start with designing and planning our projects, then move on to a quick run-down on various techniques, including hand-tufting and hooking, before moving on to machine tufting with AK-1 cut pile tufting guns. Investing in one of these bad boys (not to mention the rest of the setup) is an expensive purchase, so you’ll have the chance to practice and test one before pulling the trigger.
You’ll learn how to set up your frame for tufting, safe and proper use of a tufting gun, techniques for a professional finish, and some basic troubleshooting. Then it’s your turn. Spend the rest of the session tufting up a storm, bringing your creation to life.
Please note: This class requires at least five students to run. In the unlikely event that we don't get this number of students, we'll cancel the class and fully refund you and inform you via email, so please watch your email a few days prior to the class.
Your pieces will be left at our venue for finishing and gluing onto the mirrors and will be ready for collection approximately 2 weeks after the class.
Please note: This venue is located on the first floor via a flight of stairs and does not have wheelchair accessibility.
