The first day is the tufting day, a full day, from 9:30am until about 4:30pm, when you will make a template for your stool top, finalise your colours, draw up your design and tuft this to completion as the rubber latex to fix the wool to the backing fabric has to dry overnight for the next morning.

The second day you will shear the tufted surface of your work, perhaps carve into it for design effect, tack it onto your stool top and final trim your work. The second day will finish around 2:30pm, not as long a day as the first day,

I can provide you with a stool to cover or you can bring a stool of your own. Below are images of stools I can order for you, with prices, and I will treat the wood in agreement with you.  If you wish to cover a stool of your own please send me an image and dimensions in your email to me, so I can gauge if tufting and tacking will be possible. 

Feedback tells me that a bit of preparation on the design and colours will get the first day off to a good start. Please let me know if you have an idea of what colours and design you have in mind for your tufted piece? A bit of planning will help a lot towards you taking home something you are very proud of and that sits nicely with your intended space.

Workshops are for two to four people. Please message me letting me know your preferred dates, whether you want to buy a stool from me or use your own stool. We can then begin talking colours, design, etc.

A tufted wall hanging, or small rug, workshop costs £225 per person and will take two days. All materials are included.

The work will measure about 60cm x 40cm depending on the complexity of design and how long tufting and finishing will take. We can discuss what you want to achieve before the workshop and the size of the work that will be possible over the two days depending on the colours and design you have in mind. A bit of planning will help a lot towards you taking home something you are very proud of.

On day one you will draw up your design, finalise your colours and tuft. I’m told tufting is harder work than people imagine so please note that a certain amount of physical resilience and co-ordination is needed. On day two you may have more tufting to do before backing your work and shearing the tufted surface, perhaps carve into the tufted surface for design effect.

Workshops are for two to four people and can be a mix of covering a stool making a wall hanging. Please email me using the form to let me know your preferred dates.

I’ll show you what I know to enable you to set up tufting for yourself or problem solve any issues you are having. £150 for one person, £250 for two people for a long morning, or afternoon, as long as it takes.
