Introduction to Tufting - Saturday September 23, 2023

Join The Tuft Club, and make a small hand-tufted rug of your own design! Learn the basic skills needed to machine tuft your own small 2×3 ft rug and how to build an at-home tufting practice. Participants will make a tufted rug from start to finish, including a step-by-step process for designing, selecting materials, framing, and applying fabric for your tufted piece, as well as how to tuft with a tufting machine.

Materials fee is $90, payable to the instructor at the time of the class. All materials will be provided. Participants are encouraged to send the instructor a design (as a .jpg or .png file) that they would like to create, as well as the materials fee (VENMO @NeekaJackson) in advance of the class. Note: this workshop requires that participants stand for longer periods at a time. Please bring a K-95 face mask to wear when gluing the rug.
