Alena was the most patient and welcoming teacher ever, she was full of praise despite my lack of natural crafting ability.

• 5/5 from Charles, attended Jul 2024: Alena was an amazing teacher and we had a wonderful day of learning to Tuft with them. They didn't make us feel silly for asking questions and helped us when we made mistakes. We went home with a couple of great rugs that I'm sure we couldn't have done without their help.
• 5/5 from Richard Scarborough, attended Jul 2024: A lovely day spent with Alena learning the art of tufting a rug. I’m impressed by the results given I’d never done this before. There’s a nice vegan cafe on site as well.
• 5/5 from Kim Owen, attended Jun 2024: I really enjoyed my full day tufting workshop with Alena. Alena was really friendly and relaxed which set me at ease, and took me through the process of tufting through demonstration and clear instruction which quickly increased my confidence in the process. I’m really looking forward to getting started doing my own rugs and Alena has offered to be there after the workshop if I have any queries which is really helpful of her. I wholeheartedly recommend Alena and her tufting workshops as a really fun, interactive experience, and you get to take away a fab rug / wall hanging too
• 5/5 from Mark Kimber, attended Mar 2024: My husband bought me the workshop for my birthday. Alena was brilliant, really engaging and thorough. The workshop was a great space, very relaxing and a nice vibe. I was really pleased to learn the full end to end process of making a handmade tufted rug. It was a full day with great equipment and materials do very good value. I love my end result which I’ve decided to hang on my wall as a piece of art, just need a piece if driftwood!
• 5/5 from Rebekah, attended Feb 2024: I was bought this workshop by my boyfriend as a Christmas present. I think I had driven him crazy with saying I wanted to have a go at rug tufting every time I saw someone creating something beautiful online I spent a whole day 1:1 with Alena, who was an absolutely fantastic, super knowledgable teacher, who took the time to clearly explain the whole process, help choose the perfect colours & build up my confidence in using the tufting gun. I am so pleased with the finished rug that I came home with, it turned out even better than I had imagined! This may well become my new favourite hobby Thanks so much!

• 5/5 from Cara Stevenson, attended Mar 2023: I done the full day tufting workshop, and it was super! Alena was friendly, welcoming, professional and definitely knowledgeable and passionate about tufting! She was a great teacher answering all questions and supporting me step by step in making my rug.
