In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn the art of punch needle rug-making while creating your very own mini rug.
Shannon will walk you through the process from start to finish, so whether you're a total beginner or looking to sharpen your skills, you'll leave with a completed piece and the know-how to make more.
Punch needling is a form of needlework, closely related to rug hooking. Also called 'tufting', punch needling involves using a special hollow needle to punch wool into fabric, which is mounted on an embroidery hoop to keep it taut. The needle creates loops that are kept in place with the tension of the fabric. The end result is a highly textured design which is pleasing to look at and touch.
This is the perfect activity for solo crafters, friends or couples.
What to expect:
  • Be guided every step of the way as you get to grips with punch needle
  • Leave with a finished product to treasure or gift
  • Colourful wool, punch needles & monks cloth all included

  • 5/5 from Tamsin Chambers, attended Mar 2026: We had great fun! Shannon was very patient with us, and the technique was relatively easy to pick up, even for absolute novices. It was also nice that everyone got a keepsake to take home. Thank you Shannon!
  • 5/5 from Jenny Cheong, attended Apr 2025: Fantastic! Shannon was incredibly friendly and made the whole experience fun and relaxing. We were all beginners, but she was extremely patient with everybody (hen party of 8) and attentive. We had so much fun and are super happy with our designs. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for something different and memorable to do :)

I'm Shannon, a creative living in Bristol. I first started lino printing in 2020, and furthered my practice with a textiles design and printmaking course at Spike Island.
I love immersing myself in a range of artistic pursuits and sharing my knowledge with others. I get really inspired by seeing what people make in my workshops.
I have been running lino printing classes since 2022, plus a host of others!
