Description

In the tufting workshop you'll create your own tapestry, from sketch to finish. Tufting is a type of textile manufacturing in which a thread is fed through a hollow needle, which penetrates a specific fabric. This technique uses a tufting gun, which is used to automate the process, especially in the area of carpet production.

In this tufting workshop you will learn the process of this technique and the steps involved, from transferring the design to finishing.
Each participant will make a piece individually, using a dedicated gun and frame.
