Rug tufting was a passion project which explored an illustrative and graphic passion while learning a new skill with textile.
Tufting became a huge interest to me the more I saw how it can be used in multi-media design. The hand quality appeals to me in the sense that each rug becomes personal, and not perfectly the same every time. With an entirely new process to me, from hand drawing designs on a larger scale on a tufting stand, to the intricate process of using the gun itself, to cutting it up and glueing it together to form a rug. This has become one of my favourite textile design techniques and will be something that I would love to keep exploring in future design projects.
