This hands-on class is perfect for anyone looking to explore the art of rug tufting, from beginners to experienced crafters. Join us for a fun and creative experience where you'll learn to create your very own tufted rug (up to 24x24 inches).

PLEASE NOTE: This is a two-part class and you must attend both sessions to complete the project.

All tools and supplies will be provided. Students are asked to wear comfortable clothing and shoes, hair tied back, and sleeves that are short or can be kept out of the way of the tufting machines. Due to the nature of the tufting guns, this class is restricted to students aged 18+.
