Read ClassBento UK Reviews

This is a fun activity in Bow, London

Spend three hours making your own 40 × 40 cm tufted rug at Cheeky Studio, one of East London's most-loved creative studios in the heart of Hackney Wick.

This is not your average craft class. You'll use a professional tufting gun on a proper frame, with our own cheekyarn — 100% recycled, GRS-certified, and available in over 115 colours. Our team will be with you the whole time, from your first tuft to your last.

Send us your design at least 24 hours before the class, and we'll have it traced and ready on your canvas when you walk in. All you need to do is pick your colours and start tufting.

Once you finish, we take care of the rest. Our team handles all the trimming, glueing, backing, and shaping, so your rug goes home looking complete and polished. Not a craft project. An actual rug.

Why guests choose Cheeky:

1. Professional tufting guns and equipment, not beginner starter kits
2. 100% recycled yarn, made exclusively for our studio
3. Your design is traced and canvas-ready before you arrive
4. Full finishing by our team, including trimming, backing, and shaping
5. Hands-on guidance throughout so you always know what to do next
6. Free delivery if you'd rather not carry it home
7. Trusted by brands including Sky, Meta, Saucony, and more.
8. One of the most photogenic studios in East London. PayPal shot here (official website)

Great for birthdays, dates, hen dos, solo days, or just a genuinely good day out.

Jay is a fantastic teacher helping us to explore this new activity in the 3hr tufting workshop - which was easy to pick up. We booked the day before, sent over our templates which were already prepared on the canvas’ when we walked in - very fun and a great start to the year! Looking forward to receiving our finished pieces by post in a week. We would totally recommend this activity and workshop. Thanks Cheeky studio!

This course was so much fun! I have done a few courses through classbento and this is definitely a favorite. It was easy to submit a pattern and when we got there the canvas was ready for us to start. After a quick introduction we could get started so it was really easy to learn. There was alot of colour options so choosing the colours was almost the hardest part! Our teacher was really lovely and showed us everything from start to finish. I would really recommend doing things course!

I attended did class with my mum and we had such a great time! We had lot of fun with JeeHee who was so kind and patient talking us through how to do things and giving us tips. It was really easy to learn the basics, but it was a bit more tiring than we expected for the arms. Really happy with how our patterns turned out and could not recommend this course enough! The studio is quite easy to get to even by car if you can find parking in the area.

This was brilliant. Great equipment and an easy learning curve, all the colours you need to make something badass, Jay was encouraging and available, and super-pleased with the result. I want to do more straightaway. Such an excellent way to spend an afternoon.

My daughter and I had a great time at the rug tufting workshop with Jay as our teacher. We spent a happy few hours creating our rugs and were very happy with the result. It was interesting to learn the process and Jay was very helpful and kind. A slight mistake was made in the requested size of my rug which would have been time consuming to correct which was a pity but it didn’t detract from the overall experience.

TEN OUTTA TEN TUFTING, THAT WASN'T TUF(T) TO DO! I took my partner to make rugs for our new home as a birthday surprise, and we had a wondrous time. The class was the perfect length: we didn't feel rushed, but we weren't bored either. The studio was sunshiney, and the vibes encouraging and relaxed. Explanations were clear, and there was an ideal balance between help being provided when required whilst also ensuring you actually learned a new skill. We were surprised and delighted by how professional our finished products were; sometimes crafting classes are fun but you end up with a mess that goes straight in the bin...in contrast, our rugs went straight into proud use in our house!
