In this hands-on instructional class, participants will learn to use power tufting machines to create a rug or wall hanging. The 6-hour class will cover the basics of setting up a tufting frame and backing cloth; threading and operating tufting machines; and how to glue and finish a tufted piece. Participants will work on original projects, of their own design, on a frame that can accommodate pieces measuring 22 x 22 inches. A tufting frame, cloth, and yarn are included in the cost of the workshop (participants will take their work and frames home following the class). Tuft the World will provide tufting machines for use during the workshop, or participants may bring their own.
*There will be a small break during the workshop, PLEASE bring a lunch/snack
