Tufting is a process by which custom carpets can be made. The artist sketches a pattern on a cloth, then uses a tufting gun to inject the yarn into the cloth. During this session participants will learn hands-on how to tuft their own simple design. Each participant will be assigned the use of tufting gun and frame, all materials will be provided to create a rug approximately 30" in diameter. Over the two sessions participants will create a carpet of their own design which they can take home.

PLEASE NOTE: In addition to Sunday's class, there will be a followup session Tuesday night (6/8) from 6:30-8:00pm so you can finish your rug once it is glued up. Please plan to attend BOTH sessions. If you cannot make Tuesday, please contact info@makehaven.org.
