Whether you're looking for exciting things to do in Manchester or you need experience gift ideas for a practical pal, this deep dive into tufting will teach you everything you need to make a rug up to 1.5 x 2 metres using advanced techniques.
Don't worry if you've never tried tufting your own rug before, as students of all skill levels are welcome to come and enjoy four fun sessions of creativity in a calming space.
Your expert guide will provide all the equipment you need, including a projector, so you get an accurate and sleek template to tuft using 16 yarn colours. All you have to bring is an idea of the design you want to bring to life!

Manchester Tufting Workshops was established in 2020, with the goal of publicly teaching the fascinating art of rug tufting. At the time, the only way to learn tufting from someone knowledgeable was through a university setting. I wanted to create a more accessible way of learning, open to everyone at any skill level. It was important to me to foster the right atmosphere to inspire creativity and confidence.
I have 10 years of experience with electric and pneumatic tufting equipment, and my wonderful assistant has 6 years of experience. You'll be welcomed into my bright art studio in Salford, where I create my own artwork & display many colourful treasures!
