Spend the afternoon shooting yarn out of a gun and into fabric to create amazing tufted mirrors! In this beginner tufting class in Seattle, you'll learn basic tufting skills to create your own unique tufted mirror frame.
We provide frames, fabric, yarn, tufting guns, and mirrors for you – all you need to provide is a design for your mirror! The tufted mirror frame design is up to you but we recommend a simple abstract design that has large shapes and few outlines for the highest success rate.
This is a beginner class so we will focus on getting comfortable with the gun and the movement. You will design a frame for a mirror, tuft it, and finish it with scissors or a carver. You'll learn how to shave your piece evenly, create separation between your colors, and bevel carving.
We will have a variety of sizes and shapes of acrylic mirrors available for you to choose from. If you have something specific in mind - please let us know and we'll do our best to source what you need. If you have a mirror that you would like to use, feel free to bring anything that is 24 inches or smaller. Keep in mind that the larger your mirror, the less room you'll have for tufting.
You will be using a frame that is approximately 30 x 30" in exterior dimensions and a 26 x 26" working area. We will use acrylic yarn and the cut pile setting on the tufting guns. We will have yarn available for you - but if you would like to use something specific, you are welcome to bring size 4 acrylic yarn.
If you're looking for unique experience gift ideas, a chance to craft your own tufted mirror will make for an unforgettable creative day. This tufting workshop also makes for fun date ideas, birthday parties, and more! A day spent crafting is a day well spent!
