Tufting has become increasingly popular in recent years as more people are interested in making their own home decor items and unique pieces of art. It is a type of textile crafting that involves using a special tool called a tufting gun to create looped or cut-pile designs on a fabric or rug backing. Tufting allows crafters to create custom rugs, wall hangings, pillows, and other items with a variety of colors and textures.
In this exciting tufting class, you'll learn how to create your own tufted piece! No prior tufting experience is necessary, this workshop is perfect for beginners. Our experienced instructors will provide step-by-step instructions and support throughout the workshop, ensuring that you feel comfortable and confident in your tufting skills. You'll be amazed at how quickly you'll pick up the techniques and start creating stunning designs.
We'll provide all the materials you'll need for the class, including the tufting gun, backing material, and a wide selection of yarn and fibers in various colors and textures. Choose to make a handmade rug to brighten up your space, or for an additional cost, you can learn how to make a tufted mirror or tote bag. Just bring your enthusiasm and creativity!

  • 4/5 from Johnathan Murphy, attended Oct 2026: Our teacher was great, gave a good explanation on the craft and how to use the equipment. I wish there could be an option of sketching your own piece maybe an hour earlier for a $10 charge possibly. But pretty great class.
  • 5/5 from Rita Eng, attended Sep 2026: The class was great! We all had a great time. We were there to celebrate a birthday. The teacher was very helpful in giving instructions and providing help when needed.

  • 5/5 from Rachel Feingold, attended Jun 2026: Amazing experience. Tess was our host and explained everything really well; very willing to help and questions were welcomed. We were able to finish our rugs and get them ready to go the same day, special accommodation since my partner and I aren’t local. Very helpful staff and extremely fun! Highly recommend
  • 5/5 from James Magee, attended Jun 2026: Fun date nite. We will come again thanks for everything ladies
  • 4/5 from Lyric Westbrook, attended May 2026: Booked a private session for 2 for my boyfriend and I. Teh experience and activity was great. The session was booked for 3hours but we were allowed to stay an extra hour ro finish our pieces. I gave a 4 star rating because the session was not private. I imagined we would be in a room/area off somewhere with a teacher but we were in the main space with everyone else and it was booked and busy. The vibes were still good just not what I expected when booking.
  • 5/5 from Leah M Hott, attended Apr 2026: My group of friends and I had a blast and were pleased with our teachers! The machine was surprisingly easy to use regardless of its intimidating appearance. I love how my rug turned out and would 10/10 recommend to anyone to try!
  • 5/5 from Derek Davis, attended Apr 2026: My lady and I had a really good time!!!!!

  • 5/5 from Aidan Clark, attended Jan 2026: We thought the class was great! Emily was super helpful. There’s a short learning curve with the tufting gun but if you’re a craft oriented person you should pick it up quick! I would recommend people pick a simple design to start with so you don’t run out of time.
  • 5/5 from Joshua Gregory, attended Dec 2025: Emily was fantastic and very helpful. It would be great to connect with her about law school as well. Would love to host an event for my peers here.
  • 3/5 from Aysha Mahmood, attended Dec 2025: Coordination and management could be improved but the teachers had great knowledge. We did have to wait awhile for no real reason. Also helpful to know is that you don’t get to do the shaving and don’t take it home that day.
  • 5/5 from Hanh Chi Do, attended Nov 2025: We had a fun birthday party at this location, celebrating our friend! The staff is very welcoming and accommodating, I so appreciate all the patience they had for us first time at tufting. It was a steep learning curve but overall we all had a good time learning something new. We were also given a table to place our bottle of bubbles, cupcakes, and cheese tray! Overall, highly recommending!!
  • 5/5 from Ivan Loeza, attended Nov 2025: Tess was the best. I enjoyed her being so accommodating and helping us tuft with peace of mind that she had our back. I really don’t know what could have been done better.
  • 5/5 from Zena Sosa, attended Oct 2025: This whole experience was a 10/10! The teachers and staff made everything so enjoyable. They walked us through everything and made everything very easy to do. I’m so glad that I chose this experience and I can’t wait to see my creation.
  • 5/5 from Bates Larson, attended Aug 2025: Easy to register and super fun. We upgraded to larger sizes and they let us stay as long as we needed to finish. Would definitely do again.
  • 5/5 from Sarah Greenberg, attended Aug 2025: Very fun way to spend a Saturday afternoon! When we arrived for our class, the power had unfortunately just gone out on the entire block. They called us back as soon as the power was back on and made room for us to do the class even with multiple other groups scheduled. All of the staff members were very helpful and friendly!
  • 5/5 from Nicole Mangalindan, attended Jul 2025: My daughter and I truly enjoyed this experience. The teacher was so kind, helpful, supportive and knowledgeable. We can’t wait to do it again!

  • 5/5 from Danielle Dowdell, attended May 2025: While I wish our instructor provided a little more one on one time, it was a blast. I learned a lot and I can’t wait to go back! My finished product didn’t look exactly as I pictured (beginner’s troubles!) but I want to redeem myself haha.
  • 5/5 from Alex Tharp, attended May 2025: Me and 3 of my friends were looking to try out something we’ve never done and we had an awesome time.

  • 5/5 from Olivia Guzzardo, attended Mar 2025: Such a great activity! Not really a class, you get a few tips and practice and then dive into your own piece. Your arms will be sore but it’s really fun!
  • 5/5 from Melissa Rosa, attended Mar 2025: Enjoyed the class and support from the staff. Great way to decompress and spend quality time with oneself.
  • 5/5 from Shamanta Shivpura Ramesh, attended Mar 2025: We had a great time tufting, and it was a wonderful experience. I attended the tufting session with my partner, and we used a medium-sized cloth. We shared a frame and worked together on the project. As a beginner, having a partner was really helpful. We took turns to finish the mat. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience.

  • 5/5 from Emily Spindler, attended Mar 2025: Awesome experience! My payment was done quickly and easily! Using a gift card was no problem. We absolutely loved the class! I would definitely spend the money to make a larger rug. The teachers made the experience fun and easy, with quick tutorials and followable instructions. The tool you use looks intimidating but it’s not bad once you get used to it. I do wish there were a few more colors but that’s just me being picky. I can’t wait to come back!
  • 4/5 from Carol Dolin, attended Mar 2025: This workshop was chosen by our 13 year old granddaughter who visited from out of town. We chose images and she had done research to learn how to prepare them for good results in the project. We drove in from the suburbs and got there in plenty of time. The stations were ready, but they seemed short staffed and it took a while to get started. The image tracing was quick and we had a great tutorial. The instructor was friendly and efficient, but she had too many people to help. It took about twenty minutes to learn that it wasn’t faulty technique, but equipment with different problems before we got going. We also had some difficulty with yard that was knotted so there was some frustration along the way. I think most of this could have been avoided with one more person helping. In the end, we were very pleased with our results and time together. It was a really good time and we would do it again. Now that we know what to expect, we would be better able to recognize when to ask for help. Thank you for providing the experience!
  • 3/5 from Alli Mueller, attended Mar 2025: Overall, my friend and I liked this class! We were disappointed by the lack of guidance though. Here are my feedback points: - lack of guidance and unstructured welcome/instruction left us confused and wasting time at the beginning, which made us stressed to finish our rugs on time - zero communication with the teacher except at the very beginning, and teacher seemed unknowledgeble about rug tufting specifically and generally unenthusiastic - no guidance on how difficult a pattern might be to tuft. I chose something way too detailed and had no idea, and my arm hurt for 3 days after this class - very fun if you like a hands-off approach, and we both loved the final products - we ended up staying an hour later than our class was because we couldn't finish on time, but nobody seemed to care to kick us out, so we were still able to finish
  • 5/5 from Janelle Faith, attended Feb 2025: Overall easy and fun class, will definitely do again
  • 5/5 from Michael Guillermo, attended Feb 2025: Easy to learn! Kailee explained everything and was very helpful throughout the process.
  • 5/5 from Isabella Tan, attended Jan 2025: Very fun experience!! Definitely recommend.
  • 5/5 from Matthew Blumenfeld, attended Dec 2024: Great experience, very helpful staff.
  • 5/5 from Renerose Dimatulac, attended Sep 2024: We booked this class for our friend’s bachelorette party and she loved it! It’s challenging and fun at the same time. Our teacher was patient and nice, he let us try tufting on a blank canvas first to get a feel for it. How it works: They connected our phone to the projector, our image was projected on the canvas, we outline with a marker first, then we tufted our outlines with black yarn, grabbed the yarn colors we need for more tufting! Tips: Tufting the outlines was the hardest part (for me). Make sure to ask the teacher the proper spacing of each tufted line because this will save you time! And remember the right yarn color for each part of the image — it helps if you have the image on your phone for your reference at all times. They said it will take a few weeks to get the finished rug. I highly recommend this class — will do it again!
  • 5/5 from Chelsea Hottovy, attended Sep 2024: It was the MOST FUN! A very cool casual set-up, multiple groups came in to do their own crafting, there was plenty of space and materials for everyone. The staff was exxxxxxcellent, especially Kailee and Aly. They were so thorough in their explanations and so helpful when we still couldn't quite figure out what we were doing, they were super kind when explaining AGAIN what we were doing wrong and why the thing wasn't working when we were doing it wrong. They managed to make sure everyone got attention. The tufting itself was fun! Frustrating to start because what on earth is going on here but by the end of it we were both planning on coming back and making another. Plus, as for PopCraft itself, such cool options for other activities too! Great! Do it! Wow!
  • 4/5 from Amaraja Dalvi, attended Sep 2024: I had an excellent time at this experience! I was celebrating my bachelorette party with my girlfriends. The instructor was very helpful as well. I like that you could BYOB/food so you can survive for 4 hours. Some feedback that I have: 1)since it is a time consuming activity, I thought the chairs were very uncomfortable. I think you need ergo chairs that can go up and down and also have cushion on them. I had a friend who was pregnant and her back started to hurt as well after 2 hours. Ergo tables that can go up and down would also be ideal for this set up. 2) The price point is a little expensive
  • 5/5 from Lynda Roddy Ozzauto, attended Jul 2024: It was fun and much easier than we thought it would be - will do it again
  • 5/5 from Young-Chan Lim, attended Jul 2024: Our firm booked an event for 20 attendees from 6-9 pm. Our instructors were patient and accommodating even when some of us were late. They were also extremely knowledgeable and helpful; I felt the instructors were invested in our final products as well, and helped us to choose appropriate tuft designs. The time estimate was realistic for most attendees. The venue was spacious, well-lit, well-organized, and well-supplied. We felt the supplies and materials were of good quality and I don't believe anyone ran out of any colored yarns. I felt it was worth the cost, especially since the instructors offered to finish unfinished tufts for a couple attendees. I think the only detail I didn't receive beforehand was that it would take two weeks to pick up our tufts. Otherwise, we felt prepared and supported before the workshop.
  • 5/5 from Jaz Lyric, attended Jun 2024: Great, tufting instruction. I really like the fact that it was such a chill environment. I didn’t feel rushed to complete anything, and I could answer questions without hesitation. new hobby unlocked. Definitely wish I had more time in the city to take more classes.
