Come learn the exciting new medium of machine tufting! Portland artist Melissa Monroe will be teaching the fundamentals of tufting — proper technique, sourcing supplies and finishing options. By using a hand held tufting machine you can create a rug or wall hanging. Each student will leave class with a 20” x 20” loop pile rug or wall hanging!

Melissa will share her intuitive process of designing by working to create imagery, color patterns, and texture within the work. She welcomes students who have a specific design in mind as well as students who are starting from a blank slate!

Each student receives their own workspace with a loop pile tufting machine and frame to use during the workshop. Previous student work can be seen on instagram @tuftingworkshop
