How does it work?
During this one-day workshop, you will learn how to create a 60cm x 60cm rug in the pattern of your choice. This training will allow you to acquire the skills necessary to work with a tufting gun in a professional manner. You will discover how to embed your fabric, transfer your design and use the tufting machine.
At the end of the day, you will apply carpet glue to the back of your rug. Once the glue is dry, we will take care of the finishing touches. You can come and collect your rug a few days later.
1 - Preparation of the workshop
Upon arrival, your pattern will already be transferred. All you have to do is choose from a range of 44 cone colours available 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 step is to glue the back of your carpet. We will then take care of the finishing touches, and you can come and collect it as soon as it is ready.
