Tuft A Rug Workshop with Back Alley Rugs!
Learn to make your own hand tufted rug with Lauren! She will show you how to use a hand held tufting machine to make your own 18x18 rug. You get to choose your own design!
Please submit your design to GatewayPresents@gmail.com within 72 hours of purchasing your tickets. If a design isn’t submitted, or you’re unsure what to select, we are happy to provide a design for you. We recommend keeping designs simple as more detailed images are harder to recreate. Check out @backalleyrugdealer on Instagram for additional recommendations!
Please note, the adhesive that holds the rug together takes 8-12 hours to dry, so your rug will be available to pick up at The Native any day after 5pm. If you are unable to pick the rug up, let us know and we can discuss a shipping option if needed.
What You’ll Receive
• We’ll supply everything you need to make one (1) hand crafted 18x18 rug!
• Individual support offered throughout the process
