⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I had such a great time with Sez! The whole experience was fun, hands-on, and surprisingly therapeutic. Sez was welcoming, patient, and made the whole process so approachable, even for beginners. I left feeling proud of what I created (even if it wasn’t perfect!) and totally inspired to keep tufting. Highly recommend this workshop to anyone looking to try something new and creative in a relaxed, encouraging space.

First time tufting and I wasn't sure how I’d go. But Sez made sure we had plenty of practice before starting on our projects. She walked us through each step, making sure we know what to expect and what to do. Great experience and I did much better than I expected!!
