This was an amazing workshop led by a master of her craft. As we had never held a tufting gun before, Alena made it very easy to understand what we needed to do and guided us through the process. We walked away very happy with what we created. Alena is really friendly and happy to chat which hightenened our experience. I would recommend this class to anyone that is crafty or is just looking for something different to do.

Really fun experience, loved the creative freedom and the support to get the rug finished. Alena was so encouraging and calm - the studio itself was such an inspiring and creative space too. Tufting is such an impressive art form, fully recommend giving it a go!
