In this creative workshop of mixed techniques, participants will get to connect with their playful and intuitive habits to create a ‘precious stone’ made out of tufting and blended with textile collage on canvas. This is an opportunity to learn the basics of the tufting technique and develop a creative composition on the canvas. While moodboards will be there to use as an inspiration, each participant will be free to come up with their own idea of a ‘precious stone’ mini rug. No special requisitions are needed, only having the desire to play with colours and textures that will lead to an enriching tactile experience!
