We had such an amazing day on Saturday for the half day workshop. I couldn’t believe what we were able to create by the end of the session! There was a short training session to start off with and a bit of a practice run which helped me to feel confident using the equipment. Then the time flew by and before I knew it I was looking at an actual rug - handmade by me!

The class was really really fun, definitely very beginner friendly. I had never used a tufting gun before but the instructions were super clear which made it really easy to get the hang of.

The best workshop I’ve attended! It’s clear that Alena has a true passion for her art which translates into the fantastic workshop she offers. We expected to go in for the experience but left with a fantastic rug that we’re truly proud of! Alena was a fantastic teacher who made sure we were well prepared and didn’t rush us despite taking longer than the allocated time. Cannot recommend enough!

Alena was a fantastic instructor. She provided clear instruction and taught the group how to use the tufting gun brilliantly, explaining everything from health and safety to the the reason as to why certain techniques were preferred and effective. She offered one-to-one support to all attendees, giving useful tips throughout the session. She was patient and accommodating with her time given that it took me a little longer to complete my design than others! I managed to finish my rug and was thrilled with the end product. A very enjoyable experience and it was nice to meet the other attendees as well as get to chat to Alena and hear about her background and experience. Highly recommended!
