Looking for a creative twist on date night? Bring your partner (or bestie!) to our cosy tufting studio and craft something unforgettable together. Whether it's matching mini rugs or one big shared masterpiece, Tufting Date is all about fun, fluff, and connection. No experience needed – just bring the love, we'll handle the yarn. You can choose a design from our selection or suggest your own design of similar complexity for an additional price.
During the workshop, you will learn how to use a tufting gun. We will explain how much pressure to apply to the fabric, how to follow the design, outline the contours, and fill them with colour on a tufting frame. Additionally, we will glue the rug and secure the backing. The finished piece will be ready for pickup within a week after drying and trimming! Alternatively, you can book our Rug Shaving Workshop to complete your piece on your own.
Don't worry if you're new to tufting; this workshop is designed for beginners and will gently guide you through the process step by step. You'll work with high-quality materials and learn various techniques to create a beautiful rug that reflects your personality.
Expect a hands-on experience that will spark your creativity and leave you feeling accomplished. By the end of the class, you'll have a one-of-a-kind rug to decorate your home or gift to a loved one, adding a personal touch to any space. Join us for this inspiring workshop and unleash your inner artist through the art of rug tufting.

The Story of Artventurous: From Rug Making to Connecting London Through Creativity
It all started as a hobby—rug making was my way of unwinding, experimenting with textures and colours. But what began as a personal passion soon turned into something more when friends started asking where they could get one of my rugs. I thought, “Why not turn this into a business?” So, I set up an online shop, and before I knew it, my rugs started gaining a following.
As my business grew, I realised I wanted to do more than just sell. I wanted to connect people. That’s when I opened my tufting studio and decided to call it Puns and Rugs—because, let's face it, I tuft funny phrases on my rugs! Picture stepping into a room and seeing a rug that says, “Dramatic Exit ->”. It’s all about blending creativity with humour, and who doesn’t love a good pun?
But it’s not just about rugs—I wanted to create a space where Londoners could come together and share in the joy of making things. That’s why I started offering workshops, from rug making to jewellery design and bag charm crafting. It’s about teaching skills, yes, but also about building connections and creating something meaningful together. It is Artventurous.
What most people don’t know is that I used to teach arts and crafts before launching my business. I enjoy helping people tap into their own creativity, whether it’s through rug making, jewellery crafting, or painting. There were definitely moments of doubt, but I kept going because I knew this journey was about more than just creating art—it was about bringing people together through creativity and laughter.
I’ve been honing my craft for several years now, and while I don’t have decades of experience, I’ve certainly learned a lot along the way. What started as a simple hobby quickly turned into a full-time business, and that hands-on experience has taught me more than any classroom could.
Our mission is simple: connect, create, and have fun. Whether you’re making a punny rug or designing a bag charm, there’s a place for you here. So, if you’re in London and want to try something new, come join me in the studio! Let’s create something special together.
