"Doing nothing is my favourite hobby."


2. Halla

"I'm not dramatic. You're just not dramatic enough."


3. Zigle

"Too much? I haven't even started."


4. Dottie

"I have no idea what's going on, but I love it!"


5. Danmoo

Meet Pikler, our effortlessly cool character with a mysterious smile and a hairstyle that makes its own rules. Never in a rush, always doing things differently!

"I don't follow trends. I get lost on purpose."


Spend three creative hours bringing your favourite Cheeky Island character to life as a custom 40 × 40 cm tufted rug at Cheeky Studio, our premium tufting studio in Hackney Wick, East London.
This workshop is designed for complete beginners, but the result is made to feel polished, personal and worth keeping. You do not need any previous tufting experience or drawing skills. Simply choose your favourite from original Cheeky Island characters created by Cheeky Studio, and we'll prepare your chosen design on the canvas in advance, so you can arrive, choose your colours and start tufting with confidence.
To make the experience even more relaxed, each guest will also receive one complimentary Sonic Tonics drink to enjoy during the workshop. Pick a flavour, settle in, sip while you tuft, and enjoy a playful creative session in our cosy London studio.
Meet Toma, Halla, Zigle, Dottie, Danmoo and Pikler, playful residents of Cheeky Island! Each character has its own unique personality, and you get to choose which one to bring to life. Unlike our standard custom-design workshop, this special experience offers a collection of exclusive character designs for just £100 per person.
During the workshop, our team stays close from start to finish. We do not just give you a quick demo and leave you to figure it out alone. We help with technique, rethreading, colour changes, tricky areas and anything else you need along the way.
You'll use professional cut-pile tufting equipment and choose from over 115 colours of cheekyarn, our own GRS-certified yarn made from 100% recycled material.
Once the tufting is done, we take care of the final trimming, gluing, backing and shaping. That professional finishing process is what helps your piece feel less like a practice project and more like an actual rug you'll want to display at home.
And if you do not finish every part during the session, don't worry. We'll help complete the final details and arrange collection or delivery, so you still receive a finished rug.
This is a great choice for birthdays, dates, hen dos, solo creative days, gifts, team activities or anyone who wants to make something fun and personal in London.
Why guests choose Cheeky Island:
  • Choose from exclusive Cheeky Island characters
  • Your chosen character design prepared before you arrive
  • Your design traced and canvas-ready when you arrive
  • Close beginner guidance throughout the whole session
  • Professional tufting guns, frames and tools
  • Professional cut-pile tufting for a soft, fluffy rug finish
  • 115 colours of our own recycled cheekyarn
  • Professional trimming, gluing, backing and shaping included
  • Completion support if you need extra help finishing
  • A clean, well-equipped studio in Hackney Wick
Pick your character. Make your rug. Join the island!

Welcome to our studio, where creativity and tufting come together in inspiring ways.
Our deep passion for tufting was honed through professional training in Korea, a place renowned for its mastery of this intricate craft. We bring this expertise to every tufted piece, blending tradition with our own artistic vision.
Now, as we embark on a new chapter in London, we're excited to share our love for tufting with this vibrant city. At our studio, we believe tufting is more than just an art—it’s a way to spark meaningful lifestyle changes and explore endless creative possibilities.
Join us in our studio, where your tufting dreams can become reality, and let's bring a touch of artistry to London's dynamic creative scene together.
