Beginner-friendly tufting workshops · Chippendale
Bring an idea. We’ll provide the tufting gun, yarn, frame and step-by-step support to turn it into something completely yours.
Choose by outcome
For the easiest first session, choose 50×50 cm. Go larger when your design needs more detail, impact or room to breathe.
The easiest first rug
Enough room for a clear custom design without turning your first project into an all-day commitment.
Best complete beginner class
Learn the fundamentals while creating a more substantial rug with space for a confident, personal design.
A shorter medium-size option
A relaxed middle ground when you want a larger finished piece and a little more design detail.
For bigger ideas
Choose these for detailed artwork, a large feature rug or a collaborative project. Larger pieces need more time and a simpler plan.
More room for detailed artwork and a rug with strong visual impact.
A bigger feature rug for bold designs, shared projects or statement artwork.
Our biggest individual workshop size for ambitious, full-scale designs.
A team format for group projects, installations and major creative events.

Create together

A private creative session for birthdays, hens parties, dates and get-togethers.
Book individual projects or create one collaborative rug for your workplace, activation or event.
