WORKSHOP INFO

• Time: Saturday, March 15 2025, from 10 am to 5 pm (+1)

• The instructor: Pirita Lauri

• Language: English

• The price of the course is 229.00€ (incl. VAT 25.5%).

• Previous tufting experience is not required.

• All materials are included in the course price.

On the first day of the course, you will learn about the range and possibilities of tufting, the practical process of machine tufting, and all related materials. You will practice using different tufting machines, try different yarn materials and combinations, and work on a three-dimensional surface by varying the length of the pile. We will also go through various issues related to finishing a tufted work.

+1 Day In addition, each course participant gets one day of independent tufting time at the studio at a time that best suits them (see details below). During that day, you have time to produce a work of a maximum size of about 50cm x 50cm. The materials for this work are also included in the course price. If you wish to work on a bigger project, you can book more working time and buy more materials.

We offer you all the necessary materials (primary fabric, yarn, glue), but you can also bring your own yarn. You can use a wide variety of different yarns for tufting. Feel free to ask us in advance about your yarn's suitability for this technique.

What's a +1 workshop?

A +1 workshop includes one or multiple teaching days and one personal working day at the studio. After learning the required skills, you can book a day at the studio for hands-on practice with the new technique. The +1 day does not include teaching, but the studio staff is present and will lend a hand if needed.

The +1 day is either a weekday (10 am to 4 pm) or two consecutive weekday evenings (4 pm to 8 pm). The +1 day should be within two months of the course's teaching days. You can book your +1 day by email [pirita@valitilastudio.org].
