Please be aware, this is a two day workshop- Day one of the workshop will always take place on a Saturday and day two will take place the following Sunday, both days run from 12:00-18:00.
In this workshop beginner and experienced tufters alike can create a rug, wall hanging, or versatile textile of up to 80cm x 80cm. Participants will be encouraged to experiment with three different types of tufting guns, each with a unique pile height, in order to create depth and different texture. This workshop takes place over two consecutive days to provide enough time for participants to complete their rugs and gain full understanding of the rug making process. At the end of the second day, we will be glueing, backing, and carving the details of the rugs. Your rug will be ready to take home complete at the end of the workshop.
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 it is best to come in with a more vague idea that can be molded and changed as you experiment with colors and textures, however we can also use a projector if you want to create an exact copy of your design. If coming with your own design, keep in mind that it should be somewhat simple as small details can be difficult to execute and take considerably more time.
