I am a craftaholic and have taken practically every type of craft class in PDX over the years and this was my absolute favorite! I couldn’t believe how accomplished I felt with the end product and my beautiful rug! Not only was Felicia so sweet and knowledgeable, I loved how small the class was and reasonably priced compared to other classes in PDX. She also offers classes that fit your schedule. I am hooked on tufting and have already bought supplies to continue,!
Felicia is a wonderful teacher, deftly imparting her deep knowledge of fiber and tufting with a wise and gentle touch. I couldn't believe how quickly I moved into confident use of her equipment to create my own custom rug. Highly, highly recommend!
felicia was such a great teacher for a first time tufter such as me! we were able to use our own designs for the class, but she helped us tweak things a bit for a better final result. the instruction was clear and her guidance and demonstrations were clear and concise throughout the many steps. the result of the class was a completed rug that i am proud to display and show off! i’ve taken classes before where you bring home something that is incomplete or kind of janky. this class is the perfect balance of challenge and fun. i hope you will enjoy it as much as i did!
Me and my husband went to Felicia’s workshop. She is the sweetest teacher! We had an amazing time and came home with two rugs! I was initially intimidated because I haven’t done anything like this before but Felicia explained it very well and the process is very forgiving. Anybody can do it! If you’re thinking about it definitely sign up! I strongly recommend!
