Rug Tufting Workshop
Public Event
Tue, Jul 8 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM CST
About this event:
Tufting is a type of textile manufacturing in which a thread is inserted on a primary base. Using a special tufting gun, short U-shaped loops of yarn are introduced through the fabric from the outside so that their ends point inwards.
Join us in an 3 part beginner course, where you will work side-by-side with our instructor to make a rug or wall hanging! We ask students bring at least 4 rolls their own 100% acrylic #4 medium yarn to ensure they get the colours they want! Students will learn the following:
1. The type of stand required for tufting
2. How to set up the fabric to tuft
3. How to safely use a tufting gun
4. Type of yarn to use for tufting
5. How to thread a tufting gun
6. How to design an original abstract image
7. How to "paint" with yarn using a tufting gun onto fabric
8. How to trim and clean up the tufted piece
9. How to finish the rug with glue and felt fabric
This is a three part class.
