Rug, rug mein

Buying rugs can be a boring chore, but creating them, could actually challenge your mind. The Clumsy Studios brings you that experience with their tufting workshops and sessions, where people can create their own rugs from scratch. From learning how to use the tufting gun to folding the edges of the cloth, the participants learn the 101s of tufting in just a few hours. They start by teaching you how to use the gun to shoot the colourful yarn of threads into the fabric canvas and then follow it up with the cut-and-fold technique for the final masterpiece. We find that it created a perfect space for people to explore their creativity and craftsmanship within a few hours.
