Halloween Rug-Making Workshop: Tufts of Terror!

About this event

Get ready for an afternoon of *creepy-cute* creativity! In this hands-on rug-tufting workshop, you’ll design and create a one-of-a-kind Halloween rug: whether it’s an adorable black cat, a classic horror-movie icon, a cheeky jack-o’-lantern, or something deliciously eerie from your own imagination. From delightfully spooky to downright precious, your rug will be the perfect seasonal accent. **What You’ll Learn** * How to handle and operate a tufting machine (a power tool!) safely and effectively * Tips for outlining your design, filling shapes, and controlling speed & density * The basics of finishing: applying adhesive and backing so your rug is ready to haunt your home (or charm it!) ### **Workshop Details** * **Duration:** Most people can start and finish their canvas in 4 hours, but if you are taking longer you can stay and tuft until the shop closes at 5pm. * **Capacity:** Limited to 5 makers, one frame per person * **Ages:** 13+ (under 18 must be accompanied by a parent/guardian) * **Attire:** Comfortable clothing and closed-toe shoes required; long hair must be tied back. * **Rug Size:** Up to 26" × 26". Once you register, you’ll receive a directory of **curated Halloween-inspired designs**, including classic cartoons, horror icons, creepy cryptids, playful pumpkins, and friendly ghosts. You’ll also get access to our pop-culture and past holiday designs. But if you’re feeling extra inventive, you can work with the instructor to find a design of your own. Your chosen image will be pre-drawn on the canvas so you can start tufting right away. ### **What’s Included** Your $150 ticket covers everything you need: * Prepared canvas with your selected image * Use of tufting machine, tools, and frame * Three yarn colors (add extra colors for $15 each) * All materials for the finishing process *Gratuity for your instructor is optional and always appreciated.* ### **Note:** Tufting machines are power tools: please treat them with care.
