Do i need EXPERIENCE or an artistic BACKGROUND to tuft?
No EXPERIENCE is NECESSARY when ATTENDING one of our workshops! It is artist-led, providing you hands-on guidance THROUGHOUT.
Am I able to take the rug home?
Yes! But if you would rather not, feel free to leave it on display in the studio or add a finish!
Are there any limitations to rug designs?
When considering your design, as a beginner, it is essential to choose something simple. Whatever you think is simple, think of something even more simple and go with that! We want to make sure you complete your rug within the allotted time frame. Choosing a complex design may prevent that.
Whats included with the ticket? Do I need to bring anything?
Our workshops include everything necessary to start and complete your rug. Just bring your creativity and positive energy – we’ll cover the rest!
What size rug will i be making in the workshop?
You will be tufting on a 24x24 in. frame, so your design, depending on what you choose, will be within those measurements. Most designs made are around 18-20in.
Will we use clippers to shave and detail our rugs?
You will not shave your rug with clippers but you will trim with scissors! Detailing with clippers takes longer than it looks and would require a workshop that lasts longer than 4 hours. If you would like for Studio Syx to shave, trim and detail your rug, please ‘Add a Finish’ to your reservation.
How will i receive my rug after i ‘add a finish’?
If you selected the add-on to have your rug finished by Studio Syx, we will send it to you free of charge or you can arrange to pick it up at the studio!
Are refreshments included in each workshop?
Drinks and refreshments are provided and accessible to you at every workshop. You can also bring or order food to the studio but you are asked to store & eat it in the kitchen or common area.
Do I have to wear a mask?
Due to the small fibers created throughout the tufting process, it is strongly suggested to wear a mask as it can be harmful to inhale. Please feel free to wear or bring your own mask for personal safety reasons. Masks will be available for those who would like one. IF YOU ARE SICK, PLEASE CANCEL and reschedule!
