Tufting Gun Workshop
In this workshop, you will learn the essentials of power tufting guns! Working with either a cut or loop pile, Fern will guide you through machine maintenance, how to tuft concisely and consistently, as well as finishing techniques.

Please come with your own pattern or design printed on paper.

A variety of colours of 100% Canadian wool will be available. Keep your design simple, think large colour blocks. Guns and supplies will be available for purchase after the workshop.


Accessibility note: due to space requirements, this workshop is held in a studio only accessible by stairs.
