Recent reviews of Tufted Rug Workshop
- 5/5 from G Laudato, attended Jun 2026: This rug tufting class was so much fun!! I loved the small size of the class, and the instructor Lauren was wonderful! We all chose our designs ahead of time, and Lauren sketched them on the canvas and picked out colors before class, which was super helpful. We had no experience, and we found that the amount of time and feedback from the instructor allowed us to make our designs match our ideas perfectly. There are chairs to sit, or you can stand to remain comfortable while you work. The tufting gun is easy to use but gives you an arm workout! I highly recommend for a date or solo adventure!
