Tufting is an embroidery technique that has become quite popular in recent years. Everyone dreams of making a handmade rug to decorate their spaces. If you are one of them, in this post we will share with you information about rug tufting workshops in Honolulu.
To start with this art you need a tufting gun and of course not everyone can acquire one, that’s why many prefer to go to workshops that have all materials and tools included.
Tuft The World
TTW is a well known brand focus in tufting. It sells supplies like tufting guns, clippers, cotton yarn, wool yarn, fabrics (primary and backing) and they have not missed the opportunity to conduct workshops on rug making. These workshops are given in Philadelphia where their headquarters are located in but throughout the year they have been offering classes around the United States so we highly recommend following them on instagram so you don’t miss any updates about the workshops. Also they sell an online course for $99, you can check it here.
