In this workshop you will learn the fundamental techniques of tufting with a machine gun to create a rug or wall hanging up to 40cm x 40cm. Participants have the option to experiment with three different guns, each with a unique pile height, to create depth and a variety of textures.
You can either arrive with an idea of what you would like to create, an item or idea that inspires you, or organically create your design as you tuft. For this workshop I recommend you come in with a more vague idea that can be molded and changed as you experiment with colors and textures. If coming with your own design, keep in mind that it should be relatively simple as small details can be difficult to execute and take more time.
Creating the rug will take up to 4 hours, and you can optionally stay a 5th hour to back your rug and take home the same day. If you do not want to learn the backing process, I can back it and have it ready for pick up the following week.
