Their place is great. You dont need to worry to sketch. They have beam projector. Your image will be on your canvas.

Easy to learn and a nice product after a little bit of work. Completely worthwhile and fun for the family

My husband and I came here for a random date. It was a lot of fun, the staff was friendly and very helpful and communicative. The space was clean and the music played was really good and set for a fun ambiance. It was cool to see what everyone was working on. Overall great time and highly recommend.

It’s a really fun activity to do with friends. The staff was really nice and even let us stay until we finished our rug although it took longer than 3 hours. The finishing process takes 4 days but they also have a shipping option for $15 if you can do pick-up. All in all, would recommend

Everyone was very helpful and did a good job explaining how to use the tufting gun and other materials!

the workshop lets you jump start making a rug with tufting. i probably spent about 5-7minutes with an instructor, and then would ask them to come over and give input. it doesnt teach finishing (glueing, shaving, sealing) which was a disappointment to me. i was looking for a more skill-based class than a fun activity. if youre wanting your own custom rug and an afternoon making art with friends, this class is fantastic. they were very accomodating and gracious about my misconceptions of the class and would highly recommend

Everything was good. We had a lot of fun today. Nothing need to be change

The class was great. Very helpful and fun date night. Waiting for the final product to be sent to us but this is what we finished with today.

Nice venue with great selection of colors to choose from. I was new to this, so more best practices like spacing between stitches and choosing contrasting colors would have helped a lot. Also didn’t realize I’d have to come back to get the final piece. All in all, It was still a nice afternoon project.

Calvin and Mena were informative and helpful during our workshop. Would love to return for more experiences!

Great staff and environment. I would love to come back! The tufting class was really fun and a new found hobby

Amber Jones • Nov 2023

Teachers were patient and knowledgeable, it was so much fun so can’t wait to go back!

Sabrina Wu • Oct 2023

The teachers were helpful and patient, and had specific feedback on how to tuft. They also allowed me to stay 15 minutes past the closing time to patch up some holes in my rug, which was very kind of them.

Darreon Nihiser • Oct 2023

So much fun! We have to go back to complete our rugs but the entire process was engaging and a great craft to do alone or with friends!

Matt Stifter • Oct 2023

It is an excellent class and great instructors. Great for all skill levels; you will want to do it again!

Great introduction to tufting! All the equipment and supplies were set up and readily available, and there were plenty of staff to assist as needed. The instruction was brief, but efficient for an intro class. The rest of the time was spent making our rugs. They help you project your digital image onto the canvas and you trace it to create your design. Then you choose colors and get tufting! We had a lot of fun and all made projects we're excited about!
One thing we did not know beforehand is that the rugs are finished after you leave and will need to be picked up or shipped after several days. This was an added complication/expense for our group from out-of-state.

Rachel Bierma • Oct 2023

I was by myself but they showed me how to do it and checked on me regularly. They had many yarn color options which was nice.
