Discover Tufting
Everything you always wanted to know about tufting, by a passionate tufter who has been practicing for 2 years.
Tufting is the art of creating rugs, cushions, and textile objects using a tufting gun. An accessible, creative, and deeply satisfying technique, the very one I use every day in my workshop to create all the Clotopia pieces.
Whether you are curious, a beginner, or already practicing, you will find practical and honest guides here to progress at your own pace. 🎨
