Equip yourself with a tufting gun to experiment with the fascinating technique of tufting!
You can choose to tuft a rug or a wall tapestry (30 x 40 cm).
Sabira will welcome you in a warm and creative atmosphere and introduce you to the basics of tufting.
Then, you will be invited to choose your preferred design and colours. Next, you will learn how to stretch the canvas and handle your tufting gun by making your first attempts.
Finally, the long-awaited moment will arrive: you will start tufting your rug or wall tapestry, letting yourself be carried away by the hypnotic rhythm of this manual activity.
Once tufting is completed, it will be time to move on to finishing for a flawless result. And to top it all off, a drink will be offered to allow you to fully savour this experience.
You will leave the workshop with your authentic rug or wall tapestry and the pride of having made it with your own hands!

Sabira, an illustrator and graphic designer, stumbled upon the art of tufting by chance and quickly fell in love with the artisanal technique. Little did she know that her first tufting gun would lead her on a beautiful and fulfilling journey!
Since 2019, Sabira has been exploring the endless possibilities of this rug-making method, experimenting with shapes and colors to create vibrant objects that can adorn both floors and walls.
It's clear that Sabira is not only an artist but also a great teacher who loves to accompany and inspire others in creating their own unique pieces. So, why not step into her shared workshop and let yourself be surprised by the magic of tufting!
Heel leuke ervaring! In het atelier is er een ruime keuze aan kleuren voor je tapijt, ja kan je eigen ontwerp maken of kiezen uit de voorbeelden. Ze legt alles heel gestructureerd uit en er is voldoende tijd om te ontwerpen, de technieken te oefenen en de afwerking te doen. Perfect voor iemand die niet per se creatief is of handig/nauwkeurig (zoals ik), maar toch graag iets mooi en uniek wil maken, dat je meteen mee naar huis kan nemen. Voor herhaling vatbaar!
Warm welcome by Sabira in her studio (in a building she shares with a lot of other inspiring artists). She is a great instructor who perfectly navigated us between the do's and especially the don'ts in tufting in a fun and easy going way. I especially appreciated that, despite running out of time, Sabira took the time to help each of us finish our creation so we could take it home.
I highly recommend it!
The workshop was super nice! My friend and I really enjoyed learning the technique of tufting, and we are excited to make more. Sabira was really friendly and helpful, showing in detail what to do and answering all kinds of questions we had about the whole process of tufting. It is really nice that after 4 hours you go home with a finished small rug! We would definitely recommend this workshop with if you are interested to learn tufting.
