Location: Hamilton House, Bristol, BS1 3QY
In this creative workshop, you’ll be tufting your own design to make a rug or wall hanging, adding a pop of personality to your space.
We know it’s not every day you’re picking up a tufting gun, so we don’t expect perfection! This activity is all about having fun, getting creative and is completely beginner-friendly. It’s also well suited to those who don’t consider themselves artistically inclined.
As you get settled into a rhythm with the tufting machine, the session becomes a chance to switch off from daily life and enjoy a moment of mindfulness.
You’ll learn a unique skill, gain a memorable experience, and take home something handmade as a keepsake or as a thoughtful gift.
As with all our workshops, it’s important to us that you feel supported and encouraged to express your creativity. You’ll be guided throughout by an experienced instructor, rated at 4.9/5 stars on ClassBento.
Before the session, you’ll be sent material via email and encouraged to share your design. If you’re unsure on what to tuft, we have set designs that you can choose from pre workshop.

Hear from others who attended this workshop:
“Maya did a great job of explaining what we had to do and ensuring we could use the tufting gun safely. She was really patient, helping us fix our technique and any mishaps!
It was really helpful to have a range of designs to choose from, which we then customised with our own colour scheme.
Once we finished tufting our rug, Maya kept it to shave the front and glue the back. I can’t wait to pick it up on Sunday and show it off to the family.”
“It was great to work in her artist studio and see examples of her work on the walls.”
Thank you for a really fun and satisfying workshop.”

“I had such a great time at the rug tufting class! The instructor was patient and made the whole process easy to follow, even as a beginner. Highly recommend this class to anyone looking for a fun, hands-on experience!”

*To make the most of your experience, gluing, backing and shaving your rug will be completed after the workshop, as this process takes time. You’ll be able to collect your finished rug a few days later.
