If this workshop is not for you or the time does not suit you, you will find many other great and creative offers on the site - for example linocut, dip dye, porcelain painting, Advent wreath, crochet and much more!
Tufting Workshop - Design your own carpet @Touf Touf
In a cozy studio in Cologne, you can design your very own individual rug. At the Tufting workshop you will learn how to create lines, curves and patterns with a tufting gun - step by step and without any previous knowledge. The workshop lasts a total of 4 hours and is suitable for participants aged 16 and over. It is offered in German or English. On request, home visits for people with certain restrictions are also possible, as well as team events, group workshops and stag and hen parties. To ensure that everything runs smoothly, send your carpet design (50 × 50 cm, kept as simple as possible) by email at least one week in advance. Your design will be stretched on a frame so that you can start immediately at the workshop. On site, you will choose from a large selection of vegan wool. You will then be given an introduction to the basics of tufting and learn how to use the tufting gun. After a few practice sessions, you can get creative and design your own rug.
Services included:
- All materials (wool, tufting gun, frame)
- Snacks and drinks
- Assistance with finishing your carpet: gluing the back, finishing the fabric edges, attaching the second fabric and the finish
The final work steps on the carpet are carried out by the course instructor, as the glue must dry for at least 3 days. The finished artwork can be collected from the studio after 1-2 weeks or sent to you (for shipping costs). Here you can book a course book!
