What you'll leave with
- Your own A2 tufted rug of your pet, based on a design drawn from your photo.
- Tufting gun technique, practiced tuft by tuft on your pet's own portrait.
- Ten euros off your own tufting gun, plus cheap frame rental at the studio afterward.
Workshop in detail
Turn your pet into a tufted rug with Hannah, of the Shaggies team, using a design drawn from your own photo. Send Shaggies a picture of your pet ahead of time, and your teacher draws it straight onto the canvas for you, so the session becomes tuft by number: a spitting image of your pet built one loop at a time.
Then it is your turn to tuft. This class is built for beginners, so Hannah teaches you everything you need to operate the tufting gun before you start turning your pet's face into a rug.
After three hours of tufting, you go home with an A2 sized rug of your own pet, ready for the floor or the wall. Shaggies' own team says their pet rugs have become their cats' favorite place to nap.
