What It Is

Our rug tufting class in Honolulu runs at 15 N Pauahi Street in Chinatown. In 2.5 hours you pick a design (bring your own or choose a Hawaii-inspired stencil), learn the tufting gun after a safety demo, tuft your rug from our yarn wall, then glue, back and shear it. $119 per person, all materials included. Ages 15 and up.

Finished rugs usually go home the same day; if glue needs longer to cure, we hold your rug for next-day pickup or ship it to you. Public classes seat up to 20; private tufting events host groups up to 200.

100/10!

This was sooo fun! My fiance and I did this for our anniversary and I’d definitely go back and make another carpet! Our instructor was Kai-le and she was the best! The instructions were so clear and easy to follow. Kai-le was so supportive in helping everyone in the group. The vibes of the whole experience were so fun! And they do other crafts here too! I’ll be recommending this to everyone forsure!

It’s a great experience but if they can fix the problem with getting into the gate would be a lot easier for me to find the door. Anyway, the teacher is professional and helps me a lot with the rug tufting. I do have a lot of fun, and the result is perfect.
