What to expect at a London rug tufting workshop

London rug tufting sessions typically run 2–4 hours in a studio setting. You'll start by drawing or tracing your design onto a piece of tufting cloth stretched over a frame, then use the tufting gun — which punches yarn through the backing at speed — to fill in your pattern. Instructors walk you through tension, speed, and how to handle curves cleanly. Most London studios are in Hackney Wick or the wider East End, so it's worth combining your session with a trip to the area's independent cafés and galleries. Sessions end with a quick finish: trim the pile, apply backing adhesive, and your piece is ready to take home the same day.
