Tuft Your Own Rug

Learn how to tuft on our one-day Tuft Your Own Rug course. Youll be introduced to an electric tufting gun and watch a demonstration to teach you the art of tufting, including how to change between cut and loop. You'll then be able to start tufting your design, using 100% wool and your choice of colours, with support from Zoe, our tufting technician.
Once tufting is complete, we will then finish your piece to a professional standard; fixing your yarns in place, adding a backing, and shaving your piece to make it pop. Youll come away from the day with your very own 60x60cm rug or wall hanging, and a new skillset to show the world.
Before the course starts, youll need to submit your custom design to be stencilled onto your fabric. You will be sent a guide on how to set up your design, including digital swatches of the coloured wools available to help with the design process.
