Tufting Session

Tufting is a fascinating technique in which a special tufting gun is used to insert yarn into a backing material to create dense, soft carpets or wall hangings. It is a mixture of craftsmanship and artistic expression – and the best thing about it is that it is suitable for anyone who enjoys creating!

*In all our workshops, unlike our products (wall or floor), acrylic yarn is used to make the rugs. The reason for this is the high amount of material used in the workshops. However, we are not all the same, so it is up to you whether you choose natural material for a small additional charge.
