Learn the satisfying art of cut-pile tufting and create your own mini rug in this private, beginner-friendly workshop in Kingston-upon-Thames. In a cosy, one-on-one setting, you'll bring your design to life on a frame, creating a piece approximately 25x25 cm.
This is a fantastic activity to learn a unique craft with dedicated support. This is a private class tailored to you, whether you book one-on-one or as a private group.
I will teach you everything you need to know, including how to:
  • Thread and load the tufting gun correctly
  • Use the machine confidently and safely
  • Glue and trim your finished rug for a professional look
To make the most of our time together, I will prepare your tufting cloth with your chosen design before you arrive. After your booking is confirmed, I will send you a link where you can either upload your own image or choose from a selection of my original, beginner-friendly designs. You don’t need to send me your design right away, but it’s super helpful if you can share it at least 12-18 hours before class so I can prepare your cloth. If not, no worries — we’ll prepare it together in the session.
You'll have a palette of over 50 yarn colours to choose from to create your masterpiece. The workshop is paced for you to finish. You'll leave with your incredible hand-tufted mini rug and the skills to continue your journey, feeling proud of the unique, textured art you've created from scratch.
Biscuits and refreshments included – please let us know about any allergies or dietary requirements when booking.

Hello, I’m Gökçen Ataman Tanyer, a sculptor originally from Istanbul. In 2020, I was honoured with the Sustainable Art Prize, which paved the way for me to be endorsed as a Global Talent in Fine Arts. Two years ago, I moved here with my family and our senior rescue golden retriever, Pamuk. I’ve always loved this country, and I’m delighted to now call it home.
I recently opened my studio, The Messy Table, a cozy single-room space at Portland Road Studios in the heart of Kingston upon Thames—just around the corner from Kingston Art School.
At The Messy Table, I offer a variety of creative workshops:
Private Tufting Classes, Punch Needle Classes. Available regularly.
Painting, epoxy and polymer clay jewelry...
Fun, social workshops designed for families, friends, or groups who want to play with creativity together.
My studio is still very new—so in many ways, I feel like a student alongside my participants. And of course, no session is complete without tea, coffee, and sometimes a visit from Pamuk, my 12 year old rescue golden retriever, who loves to be part of the creative atmosphere.
I’d love to welcome you to The Messy Table and share the joy of making something by hand.
