🎓 Beginner Tufting Workshop – Learn Tufting in One Day

Curious about tufting but not sure where to start?
In our Beginner Workshop, Jenni teaches you everything you need to know about the tufting process – step by step and hands-on.

✨ What You'll Learn

In just one day, you'll gain the knowledge and confidence to start tufting on your own:

• Understand how a tufted rug is built

• Learn how to stretch tufting cloth properly

• Try different tufting machines and make your first stitches

• Get Jenni’s practical tips & tricks

• Tuft your first rug (max. 70×50 cm) – your shape and design are completely up to you

• Learn how to finish the back and glue your rug

🧶 Materials We Use

We work exclusively with the same high-quality materials we use in our own projects – and that you’ll find in our shop:
100% New Zealand wool, acrylic yarn, professional tufting tools and accessories.

You can sketch your design freehand or on paper during the workshop, or we can project more complex designs directly onto your stretched tufting cloth.

📦 After the Workshop

Your rug will need to dry overnight.
You have two options:

1. We send it to you by post the following week – including the final backing and a video tutorial so you can finish it at home

2. You finish it at our studio – by appointment, including carving and cleanup
