Rug tufting is the technique of hand-making rugs by threading loops of yarn in a design onto supportive fabric, usually with the aid of a special “tufting gun.” It comes from the word, “tuft,” meaning to apply a collection of fibers to a base.

You will be taught by Catherine who is an experienced and highly skilled artist and teacher. She will help you with all aspects of making a rug including finishing it. The materials Catherine uses are high quality. All of the material costs are included.

Yes you will be asked to prepare a 40cmx40cm design which you can either send to Catherine by snail mail or send a to scale image digitally which Catherine will enlarge. Keep it simple.
