Hey there! We’re two art-loving, fashion-obsessed girls who discovered tufting during the lockdown (when life felt a little… blah). One day, we stumbled upon tufting videos on social media and thought, “This looks fun!” So we ordered our very first tufting gun, and just like that, we were hooked. Tufting truly lifted our spirits and brought joy during such a tough time.
In late 2022, we decided to turn that joy into something we could share with others—and that’s how T&T Craft Studio was born. Since then, we’ve been tufting full-time: teaching workshops, creating custom pieces, and building a cozy, creative space in Manchester where anyone can come and give tufting a go.
We love mixing traditional textile techniques with fresh, playful design to create something truly unique and fun. Whether you want to make a mini rug, a full-size floor piece, a funky mirror frame, or even a tufted tote bag, we’ll guide you step by step in a warm and welcoming environment.
Our studio is proudly LGBTQ+ friendly, dog-friendly, and full of good vibes. We believe in creating a safe, inclusive space where everyone can feel relaxed, be themselves, and unleash their creativity to the fullest. You’re welcome to bring your own designs or ideas—we’re here to support and encourage you with patience and enthusiasm, no matter your experience level.
And one more thing—we also give back by donating part of our profits to support queer communities and feminist organisation in Asia, something that’s really close to our hearts.
Come tuft with us—we can’t wait to create with you!
