Rug Tufting

In this hands-on class you'll learn to use a tufting gun to punch yarn into a stretched backing and watch a flat sketch turn into a soft, textured rug you made yourself. We'll cover frame setup, gun handling, color planning, and finishing techniques like trimming, gluing, and backing. All materials, tools, and safety gear are provided. Come with a simple design idea or use one of ours. Leave with a rug and a coaster set!
