This workshop explores how to make a mini rug with a pneumatic tufting gun. Participants will receive a short introduction to my work and detailed guidance whilst operating and altering settings on the tufting gun. Over 6 hours participants can expect to learn the design process, advanced tufting techniques to make contemporary fibre art, rugs or wall-hangings and create smaller sample pieces by hand tufting and weavingThe outcome of this workshop will be one bespoke 90cm x 60cm rug for each participant. You will learn how to make a contemporary piece using different needle heights, yarn colours and with cut and looped pile heights.I will provide all materials required and you are welcome to bring additional colours of yarn to use (I will contact you with specific details after booking).Due to necessary outlay and preparations in advance of workshops, bookings are non transferable or refundable.
