Beginner Tufting - Create a Tufted Mirror

We provide frames, fabric, yarn, tufting guns & mirrors for you – all you need to provide is a design for your mirror.

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.

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.

• 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 & 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 inches exterior dimensions and 26x26 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.
