Petaluma Tufting Studio

Hi! I’m Robert. I started tufting because I loved the idea of mixing modern design with something you can actually touch and feel. There was a moment when I first used a tufting gun and realized I could basically paint with yarn, seeing a digital idea turn into a soft, physical rug right in front of me. That spark is exactly why I opened my studio.I love teaching because of that moment when a student goes from being a little nervous about the equipment to totally in the zone. Don't be nervous! When it was my first time tufting I thought it was going to be difficult, but with 15 minutes of instruction you’ll be ready to tuft. You will even be ready to tackle larger projects after your first experience with us. Seeing someone’s face light up when they finish their first piece is the best part of the job. It is a great way to clear your head and make something you are actually proud to show off.Why come to my studio?Most people don't know that great tufting is all about the details. Because I have a background in technical 3D printing and fabrication, I’ve spent a lot of time making sure my equipment and yarn are perfect. I use premium 8 ply yarn and professional grade AK V tools so that your project looks high quality, even if it is your first time.What you can expect:Real Experience: I run an art production studio and have spent years figuring out the best ways to make custom rugs.The Best Tools: I provide the same high end equipment and materials I use for my own professional work.A Relaxed Vibe: Whether you are here for a solo craft day or a team event, the goal is to have fun and leave with something awesome.I’m looking forward to tufting with you!
