Tufting is a type of textile manufacturing in which a thread is inserted on a primary base. Using a special tufting gun, short U-shaped loops of yarn are introduced through the fabric from the outside so that their ends point inwards.

Join us in an 3 part beginner course, where you will work side-by-side with our instructor to make a rug or wall hanging! We do have a variety of yarn, but we ask students bring at least 4 rolls their own 100% acrylic #4 medium yarn to ensure they get the colours they want! Students will learn the following:

1. The type of stand required for tufting

2. How to set up the fabric to tuft

3. How to safely use a tufting gun

4. Type of yarn to use for tufting

5. How to thread a tufting gun

6. How to design an original abstract image

7. How to "paint" with yarn using a tufting gun onto fabric

8. How to trim and clean up the tufted piece

9. How to finish the rug with glue and felt fabric

This is a three part class.

The fine print.

We do not offer full refunds for classes. Class tickets can be transferred to another date as long as you contact us at least 4 days in advance so we have time to sell your ticket to someone else. We will only transfer your ticket to the next class one time. With less than 4 days notice, we can refund 50% of the ticket price.

Our classes are primarily designed for adults, however we do allow youth ages 14+ to come to a class with a parent/guardian. Anyone 16+ is allowed to go to a class on their own but must have a waiver signed by a parent/guardian.

*Soap making being the exception, it is an 18+ class.
