“This class was incredible! The instructor John was thoughtful, patient, and encouraging while teaching a new craft! The value of this class is beyond worth it. John lets you invent your own design, pick colors, and stay as long as you need to finish. I cannot reccomend John as your instructor enough!”
“My cousin and I decided to do a rug tufting class in NY and there's a solid handful to choose from, but I'm SO glad we picked the one with John via class bento in Brooklyn. First, of all, he is so kind, encouraging, and supportive. I was running late (my bad!) but he caught me up very quickly, got me started and was very helpful with the instructions throughout the process. He was very quick to help us with yarn, making sure we were comfortable, and just curating a phenomenal experience. It's a lot easier than I thought but it still takes focus and attention. I was very grateful for the experience and the end result, if I rug tuft again it's definitely going to be this class.”
“John was amazing, super hands on and made the process so easy! He was very attentive and helped throughout the entire process, from choosing the design to making sure all of the details were in the rug. This was a great way to spend the afternoon and would recommend to anyone interested.”
“This rug tufting class is great, the instructor was professional and very kind. I love how he staggered the instruction so that we all learned in a time efficient way. The patience and attentiveness that he showed us was gracious. The best part was creating our rugs and being able to be creative with our choices. I am forever grateful for the experience and happy with the results of my craft. Overall the experience was a 10/10.”
“I had a great time! John was very professional, helpful, and kind. I would recommend this class to anyone! If you are looking for a rug tufting experience, this class was the best I could find!”
“The Rug Tufting Class was excellent!
When I arrived and met John; owner of Carbon6; he waa very pleasant. We begain with myself sending him the image, upon receipt he projected it on he canvas for me to outline using a marker.
After outlining, he and I then proceeded to select the appropriate colors to closest to the colors on the image (see first picture) and after that, he took me a work canvas and explained operation of the tufting gun and then had me practice using the gun.
After getting comfortable with the gun, I proceeded to my canvas and began tufting. Over the course of the next couple of hours I tufted and very a nice conversation with John. John we very kind and when it was apparent that I wouldn't finish in the allocated time slot, John then offered to allow me to continue until all the tufting was complete.
Upon completion, John reviewed the rug and pointed out areas on the rug where a little more addition of yarn would improve the overall look. I followed his advice (smile).
Upon final completion of tufting, John then showed me how to remove canvas from the frame with a border of 1.5 inches unused canvas, and then how to use the electric shaver to even out the yarn on the actual image side. Then he showed me how to butter the entire rug, and then use hot glue to paste the unused canvas over the rug edge (to lock in the edge yarn), and finally how to paste the backing using the buttered adhesive and spray contact cement. The using a J-roller proceeded to roll the backing tighter unto the rug.
I was very pleased with the final result, and very grateful to John for his assistance and kind of offer to allow me to finish to take my rug home that same day.
To anyone wishing to tuft a rug, I would recommend finding Rug Tufting Class by Carbon6 and book a session and have a very enjoyable evening and a nice rug.”
