Rug Tufted Workshop- June 4th

Join us for Rug Tufting at Wildling! Tuesday 6/4/2026 5-9pm Our introductory Rug Tufting class is designed to introduce you to the wonderful world of rug tufting, a versatile and expressive form of textile art. Rug tufting is a textile technique that involves pushing yarn or fabric through a backing material to create patterns, textures, and designs. It's a fascinating blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern creativity, allowing you to bring your imagination to life in the form of beautiful, tactile rugs. It would be best if you brought a design in ready to either draw on or project onto the canvas. This class is perfect for beginners with no prior experience in rug tufting, as well as intermediate artists looking to expand their skills. Whether you're a seasoned crafter, a textile enthusiast, or simply curious about exploring a new medium, you'll find inspiration and guidance in this welcoming and supportive learning environment.
