Make Your Own Rug Workshop

Tufting Workshop



3 hours

Class size 1 to 2 (public classes), 3 to 3

  £95 - £120 (£95 for 1:1 experience; £120 for 2:1 experience)

In this creative workshop, you’ll be tufting your own design to make a rug or wall hanging, adding a pop of personality to your space.
We know it's not every day you’re picking up a tufting gun, so we don't expect perfection! This activity is all about having fun, getting creative and is completely beginner-friendly. It’s also well suited to those who don’t consider themselves artistically inclined.
As you get settled into a rhythm with the tufting machine, the session becomes a chance to switch off from daily life and enjoy a moment of mindfulness.
You’ll learn a unique skill, gain a memorable experience, and take home something handmade as a keepsake or as a thoughtful gift.
As with all our workshops, it’s important to us that you feel supported and encouraged to express your creativity. You’ll be guided throughout by an experienced instructor, rated at 4.9/5 stars on ClassBento.
Before the session, you’ll be sent material via email and encouraged to share your design. If you’re unsure on what to tuft, we have set designs that you can choose from pre workshop.

Expert guidance throughout the workshop
Beginner friendly
2.5 hrs
Trimming and shaving service included*
Come solo for a 1:1 session (35x35cm), or bring a friend or partner for a collaborative 2:1 session to work together on one larger rug (40x40cm).
As we are a small studio, we can accommodate up to three stations, so if you’re bringing someone along and they’d like to tuft their own rug, please book a single ticket each for the same day. Due to health and safety reasons, this workshop is only available to those 18+.
*To make the most of your experience, gluing, backing and shaving your rug will be completed after the workshop, as this process takes time. You’ll be able to collect your finished rug a few days later.

FAQ

Can I choose my own design?
Yes! You will be sent a document before your workshop date with designs to choose from. If you have a particular one you want to tuft, we can accommodate this too! Your design will be drawn onto the canvas prior to you workshop, so you can get tufting straight away!
Can we take out rug home the same day?
Unfortunately, the process of gluing, backing and shaving the rug takes up a lot of time. We won't have time to do this in the workshop, but you will get to pick it up a couple of days after.

  • 5/5 from Leah Montgomery, attended Aug 2026: Maya was a great teacher, very friendly, communicative leading up to the class and gave clear instructions that got us started quickly. The class was great fun and ended up being a great birthday present!
  • 5/5 from Molly Alexander, attended Jul 2026: Maya was a brilliant teacher with clear instructions. Great taste in music too. My only pointer would be to explain how to access the building as I was waiting outside for 10 minutes due to not knowing where to go. Thanks Maya!
  • 5/5 from Zaynab Abbas, attended Jul 2026: Maya was a great host and I really enjoyed the workshop! The whole process was great!
  • 5/5 from Camilla Rolleri, attended May 2026: Had lots of fun and came out with great tufting tips and tricks. Would definitely reccomend as both a solo or couple experience
  • 5/5 from Jemina Legaspi, attended May 2026: My partner and I did the 2:1 experience and we had a great time! The teacher was very helpful and gave us guidance throughout the process. Would highly recommend to anyone who's been wanting to try rug tufting. It was definiltey a fun experience and we'd love to do it again!
  • 5/5 from Miss Shannon Ringland, attended Mar 2026: Really enjoyed this workshop! If you're interested in what rug tufting is about, this is a fantastic first time experience. Maya is a great teacher too, very patient and attentive. Thank you!
  • 5/5 from Elijah Rona Airen Quismorio, attended Mar 2026: I had such a great time at the rug tufting class! The instructor was patient and made the whole process easy to follow, even as a beginner. Highly recommend this class to anyone looking for a fun, hands-on experience!
  • 5/5 from Becci Edmonds, attended Mar 2026: Great experience, really easy going with wonderful and experienced tuition. Fully recommend
  • 5/5 from Tamara Bell, attended Mar 2026: Maya did a great job of explaining what we had to do and ensuring we could use the tufting gun safely. She was really patient, helping us fix our technique and any mishaps! It was really helpful to have a range of designs to choose from, which we then customised with our own colour scheme. Once we finished tufting our rug, Maya kept it to shave the front and glue the back. I can’t wait to pick it up on Sunday and show it off to the family. It was great to work in her artist studio and see examples of her work on the walls. Thank you for a really fun and satisfying workshop.

Crafting is more than just about making- it's slowing down, connecting and finding joy in the process. We offer hands-on workshops, across central Bristol, designed to spark creativity in everyone from complete beginners to skilled crafters alike.
These workshops provide a relaxed, welcoming environment, where you can explore creativity, develop new skills and craft unique projects under friendly and expert guidance. Whether you're learning how to create your first crochet or knit stitches, or refine your technique you can find something here.
What makes these workshops special is our laid back, mindful approach, with no pressure, no perfection, just creating at your own pace. This is reflected in our materials, as we only use natural fibres. Community is at the heart of all our events, so whether you are solo or with friends, you'll meet like-minded people.
