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!

We had a great time at the class. Alena was super relaxed and helpful, and our rugs turned out great. I felt the entire experience was very good value for money as everything you could have needed was provided. I would definitely recommend to friends.

Loved our workshop! Alena was so welcoming and a master of her craft. Her explanations of the processes were thorough and super helpful, and we were able to work as independently as we wanted to, knowing she was there to help and support along the way (plus lots of encouragement and great chats) overall a lovely day with a lovely teacher, and some fabulous rugs to take home! Would highly recommend
