Looking to learn a new skill or have some fun with friends? Why not try out rug tufting with Fish Apple!
This five hour workshop will cover the basics of rug tufting, how to safely use a power tufting machine, trimming your your tufted pieces and the different finishing styles.
With full expert guidance, you'll learn the best method to create your own rugs. You'll also learn about what you'll need to build your own tufting setup at home.
By the end of the class, you can take home your tufted rug, ready to give that pop of colour to your room or gift to your friends!
Please note: Fish Apple recommends you to email with a loose idea or design of what you want to create before the workshop.
If you have particular colour of yarn in mind, please let us know so we can make them available for you.

Hi everyone!
I'm Ben a Perth based artist who has been tufting rugs since early 2020. I'm a qualified glazier specialising in art glass but have been working with a softer material (yarn and wool) for a few years now.
I'm one half of "Good Rugs" a Fremantle based rug tufting company and I also tuft rugs under the name "Fish Apple".
I've made rugs for businesses and made many privately commissioned pieces. I've worked with the City of Melville on a multi sensory rug for their ParkArt 2022 project and had a rug featured in an ArtLovers exhibition this year.
I run music jam sessions and workshops when I'm not tufting or I'm at the beach with my doggo Senke!
