  • 2/5 from Justyn Simmons, attended Oct 2026: The experience was cool but definitely not worth $130 maybe worth about $50-60 max. Not interested in doing this again definitely a one time thing.

  • 5/5 from Juen Rick Lim, attended Sep 2026: It was a great time learning how to tuft with Maria. She took the time to explain the processes we were going through thoroughly and simple enough for my partner and I to understand. Looking forward to going again!

  • 5/5 from Anthony Mejias, attended Aug 2026: The Custom Rug tufting was very fun!! Daphne; the host; was very pleasant and helpful. She helped select an easier Winnie the Pooh face to tuft than my original. She offered the alternate images after explaining my image would most likely take longer than the class. After I was done, Daphne explained and demostrated hoe to finish the rug. Then offered tips on how to improve the finished rug at home. I intend to take other Kraftstories offerings.
  • 5/5 from Dejane Antoinette Lawrence, attended Aug 2026: This was an amazing experience! I was lucky enough to be the only person in my time slot, which meant I got a lot of one-on-one attention. I really appreciated being able to practice with the tools before actually putting needle to canvas. The instructor was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process, showing me how to string the yarn, teaching different techniques, and sharing tips and tricks to help me achieve the look I wanted. Overall, it was a 10/10 experience. I would definitely recommend it, especially for a fun outing with friends or a unique date idea. I’ll definitely be back!

Had an absolute blast of a time and would recommend to anyone interested in tufting your own rug! :)
  • 5/5 from Allison Navarro, attended Mar 2026: This is my second time attending this close and I absolutely love it! Iris was great and such a wonderful help! I can not wait to go back!
  • 5/5 from Nat, attended Mar 2026: Great time! Iris and Colby were so helpful
  • 5/5 from Alexandra Lekas, attended Mar 2026: Daphne and Iris were wonderful!
  • 5/5 from Taylor Roper, attended Mar 2026: This workshop was selected as a team activity, and everyone LOVED it. The instructors, Colby and Iris, are very knowledgable, helpful, and talented (in explaining the process and helping to draw everyone's designs). They were very encouraging yet honest about what was feasible/too complicated for someone's first time tufting. Many people on the team expressed how much they enjoyed this activity and embracing the challenge of creating their first rug. Best part is everyone walked away with a unique item that they were able to easily take home with them to different parts of the world. The only thing downside is that I wish there were more options for colors. It was a pretty limited selection. Even with that, I would still highly recommend the class if you're looking for something fun and challenging to do. They also have a great playlist :-)

  • 5/5 from Allison Navarro, attended Feb 2026: My tufting class with Colby was amazing! I am looking to tap into my creativity this year and Colby made my experience perfect! I walked into the class not having the confidence to make a rug and walked out loving my piece!

Every experience is beginner-friendly, all materials are included, and the warm, guided atmosphere makes it easy to just show up and enjoy.
