🗓 June 11
🕛 6:30 pm - 9:30 pm
Step into the world of tufting and leave with a rug you made with your own hands. In this fun, hands-on workshop hosted by Shaggies and Pink Poodle Society, you'll learn to use a tufting gun, transfer your design onto canvas, and finish your piece from start to fluffy end. No experience needed — just bring your ideas (or borrow ours).
🎨 What you'll learn:
How to use a cut pile tufting gun
How to transfer your design onto the canvas
Tufting — the main event
Finishing techniques: shaving, gluing, and backing your piece

💎 Your ticket includes:
All materials and use of equipment
Step-by-step guidance throughout
Your finished A3 rug (30 × 40 cm) to take home
Access to design inspiration via Pinterest boards, Instagram, and in-store lookbooks
A few things to keep in mind: keep your design bold and simple — figurative or abstract works best within the time. You're welcome to bring your own design or get inspired on the day.

About Shaggies
The name says it all — shaggy, textured, handmade. Shaggies has grown into a welcoming studio where people from all over the world explore the art of tufting and fiber crafts. Now under new ownership, with Hannah — a mixed media artist with a background in punch needle, macramé, weaving, crochet, and more — the studio is entering an exciting new chapter.
Shaggies is women & queer-owned, and built on the belief that art should be accessible, personal, and genuinely fun. Whether you're visiting from across the world or just around the corner, you're welcome here.
