Tufting workshops in Cleveland, Ohio are an exciting and unique way to learn about the art of rug making. With the help of experienced artisans, these workshops provide participants with the opportunity to learn the craft of rug tufting from start to finish. Participants begin with the basics of rug making, such as yarn selection and the proper tufting techniques. They then move on to more advanced topics, such as rug design, color selection, and weaving.
Through each step, participants are guided and supported by experienced artisans to ensure that they have the best possible learning experience. These workshops are a great way to learn a new craft, as well as to support local artisans. Furthermore, the unique designs and colors that participants create can serve as beautiful additions to any home.
Praxis Fiber Workshop
Praxis Fiber Workshop was founded in response to the Cleveland Institute of Art‘s downsizing of their fiber department and merging it with existing sculpture and video departments. Located in the Waterloo Arts District, the non–profit facility has 17 floor looms and dyeing supplies, as well as classes, workshops, residencies, and demonstration projects that teach fiber arts and promote their use to create healthy, resilient, and inclusive communities. The center also provides studio space for local fiber artists and a gallery to feature contemporary fiber art.
Currently this center is not having tufting workshops, but you can follow it in Instagram so you get updates about their classes and presentations. Maybe one day they will be encouraged to publish their tufting classes.
