How does it work?
During this 2-day workshop, you will learn how to create a 60cm x 60cm rug, from start to finish, using the pattern of your choice. This training will allow you to acquire all the skills necessary to work with a tufting gun in a professional manner. You will discover how to transfer your design, use the tufting machine, and finish your rug using a trimmer.
1 - Preparation of the workshop
Upon arrival, you will learn how to install your tufting canvas and project your design. You will then choose from a range of 44 available cone colors to create your tufted creation.
2 - Getting started with the tufting gun
Next, let’s get hands-on! Learn the safety rules, then use the tufting gun to bring your design to life by following the outlines and filling in with your chosen colors.
3 - Carpet finishes
The final and most rewarding step: finishing touches. You'll learn how to glue the back of your rug, use the trimmer to fine-tune the details, and walk away with your beautiful rug, ready to be placed in your home.
