How does it work?
During this 2.5-hour introductory workshop, you will learn how to create a 30 cm x 30 cm rug by choosing a pattern from a wide selection of designs. This initiation allows you to acquire the basics of using a tufting gun. It is a perfect opportunity to discover tufting and determine if you want to continue in this direction and possibly purchase the equipment.
At the end of the session, you will apply carpet glue to the back of your carpet. Once the glue is dry, we will take care of the finishing touches. You will be able to come and collect your carpet 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 rug. We will then take care of the finishing touches, and you can come and collect it as soon as it is ready.
