What It Is

Rug tufting is a textile art process where yarn is guided through a backing fabric to build a soft, textured design. It combines planning and instinct, as you learn to control lines, fill areas, and balance color while the piece takes shape.

In our Bay Area SoMa experience, the focus is on making something bold and personal. It is structured, supported, and designed to feel satisfying for beginners, while still giving you enough freedom to create a piece that feels like yours.
