Come try this Punch Needle Rug Making, this technique that mimics my own process of hand tufting without all the infrastructure. A simple hand-held tool, a backing cloth stretched tight onto a frame and some hand dyed wool, is all you need to catch the bug. I call this Rugmaking for the modern maker, it is simple, fast and addictive. This condensed workshop teaches you the basics of punch needle and allows time to explore the technique, without the pressure of having to complete a piece. Wool and backing fabric for practice rug making provided. Kits, Tools and ,Frames available for purchase on the day.
Suitable for beginners aged 11 and up. Children under the age of 14 will need to be accompanied by a participating adult.
