What you'll leave with
- Your own custom-designed pillowcase, 40x40cm, tufted by you and finished for pickup two weeks later.
- Hands-on tufting technique: gun handling, wool and fabric choices, shaving and sculpting the finish.
- Ten euros off your own tufting gun, plus cheap frame rental at the studio afterward.
Workshop in detail
Bring color into your home with Hannah, of the Shaggies team, and spend an afternoon tufting your own pillow. You choose from a range of wool colors, then your design gets transferred onto the canvas before you pick up the tufting gun yourself.
Then it is your turn to tuft: Hannah walks you through frame preparation, gun handling, and the finishing touches of shaving and sculpting that give the pile its shape. The session moves at a quicker pace than Shaggies' full rug class, built for guests who want the whole tufting experience without giving up a full afternoon.
Your finished pillow is sewn into a fluffy insert after the workshop and ready to collect from the studio about two weeks later.
