This is a fun activity in Salford, Manchester
Unwind and get hands-on learning a fun and unique skill at this half-day rug tufting workshop at Islington Mill in Salford.
In this craft class, you'll use cut-pile electric tufting guns to make your own 45x45cm rug with a custom design. Create a cute motif, an icon from your favourite video game or a minimal drawing with up to six yarn colours — the choice is yours!
Your expert teacher will supply all the tufting materials and equipment to help you create an accurate and faithful design that will look perfect in your home.

Your rug will be glued and backed with non-slip felt during your workshop so you can take your multicoloured masterpiece home on the same day.
