Make-Your-Own Rug Tufting Workshop in Downtown Toronto

Downtown Toronto hosts this hands-on tufting workshop, where participants build a rug of their own from first sketch to finished piece. The studio bills itself as the first artist-led tufting space in the city, and the format is aimed squarely at people who have never picked up a tufting gun but still want to make something creative. Preparation happens ahead of your arrival: staff work with you on the design, then handle image tracing, colour coding and yarn pre-selection, so the session itself goes straight to the making. The tool in your hands is the newest Clawlab tufting gun, the lightest one yet, and this is so far the only studio in Canada working with it. Guidance continues right through the workshop, with OCAD graduates and seasoned tufters on hand. Finishing is theirs to worry about too: gluing, cutting and shaving are all taken care of, which spares you the messy clean-up afterwards.
