Great experience first time tufting with my friend group! We chose the 2 hour mini tufting workshop - booking process is online and you send them your desired design beforehand (you can choose your own design as long as it's simple enough!) Very helpful and sweet instructor Julie walked us through the steps and assisted us at the right times, we went a little overtime but she was flexible in letting us finish:) would come and again and highly recommend for a cute bonding activity with friends! read more

My team came here for an offsite and we had a really great time. We did the mini tufting workshop, it's $85 per person and ended up lasting around 2.5 hours for our group of 9. Group discounts are available for groups larger than 12. Before the workshop everybody got to pick the design they wanted to do as well as the type of backing/framing (coaster, wall hanging, or mirror) they wanted. The person leading the workshop was amazing, very patient and friendly. The workshop was roughly 20 minutes of tutorial, 1 hour of tufting with the gun (varied widely person to person), and then 1 hour for everyone to glue and trim and clean their rugs. I was surprised at how well our final pieces turned out considering none of us had ever rug tufted before. At the end we also each got a cute free tote bag to hold our creations. This was a really fun unique activity, I would highly recommend! read more

Tutu - my mini rug - Art Classes Near Me - Palo Alto, California

We signed up for a 2 person medium rug making over the weekend. We opted for the 2pm class and it took us 7 hours to finish tufting and texturing the rug. The owners were really helpful, dropping by to check up on the progress and even helping a little bit at the very end. Make sure to send in the design earlier so they can sketch it for you and save you some time. Tons of fun, a really unique experience, and you end up with a fantastic product at the end as well! read more

Tutu - Medium size - Art Classes Near Me - Palo Alto, California

we did our anniversary date here and it was such a fun activity where you leave with cute keepsakes! we booked two beginner sessions for 9am on a saturday, because we did have dinner reservations at night and you should plan for a large buffer even beyond the estimated timeframe, especially for more intricate designs. for two small creations, we spent about 6 hours at the studio and finished around 3pm, but another student finished their medium rug in ~3 hours. once you book, read through the confirmation email for tips about how to choose a good design image and an overview of the tufting process. first you start by tracing your design onto your canvas. then phoebe will do a quick demo to teach you how to use the tufting gun: how to thread it, what speed to move, how to handle corners, how far apart your lines should be, etc. then you'll do a few practice runs so she can give feedback, then you're ready to start! tufting is the longest part of the process, especially when you're switching colors or your yarn needs to be rethreaded. once you're done, she'll cut the canvas out and have you glue the edges in. then she'll attach the backing to it and show you how to clean up and refine your rug design with the razor and scissors. the whole activity is a pretty lengthy process, so i'm sure it's not for everyone, but if you like crafting or trying new things, i would definitely recommend giving this a try! we made a rug in the image of our dog and one customized with my name. phoebe handled the class so well, she has appointments starting at different points in the day and working on all different sizes but her time management was on point! even when there were about 10 of us in the studio, all at different stages in the process, she was able to jump back and forth between us to make sure we all had what we needed. i was so appreciative that she didn't just leave us hanging once new students started coming in because my rug was looking a little sloppy at the end but she still took the time to sit down and help me clean it up. thanks phoebe for a fun experience! read more

I had an amazing experience at tutu! The facilitator was thorough and patient with us. I did the small tuft and yes, it did take an hour+ Next time, I'm definitely doing a larger piece & bringing some snacks! read more

Awesome tufting class! Phoebe was really helpful and patient in teaching us how to tuft our project. Choice of colors and projects were varied with lots of good examples on view. Snacks were also a plus. Will come again! Note: the studio is on the 3rd floor. It's not located on suite 100 anymore. read more

Got to try tufting for my birthday and it was super fun! My husband and I both had ideas we wanted to try and Phoebe was super patient, knowledgeable, and helpful as we tried to make our designs! My husband made Appa into a magnet and I made coasters for our car, definitely a fun way to decorate our car/home with a special memory! We would love to come again and bring a group! read more

I usually don't write reviews, but I think this deserves one. I had a tufting session back in August with my boyfriend and another couple. It was everyone's first time tufting, but Phoebe was a knowledgeable and patient teacher. We began with a brief tutorial on how to use the tufting gun (which they had recently upgraded so it's smaller and lighter). We were able to start tufting right away because we had sent our designs ahead of time and she helped us outline the design onto the frame (highly recommend doing this to maximize the amount of time you have for tufting + trimming + shaving). While tufting, Phoebe remained available for guidance and feedback on how we were doing (she was awesome!). There were also some snacks and drinks available at no extra cost for when you want to take a break. We had booked a 3pm session and arranged it so that each couple would work on 1 medium-sized rug (25 x 25 inch frame). I initially thought that our design (the duck and bear) was simple enough to finish within 5 hours, but we ended up taking 6 hours to finish our rug. I was worried that we were going to get kicked out since they closed at 8pm, but Phoebe was kind enough to let us stay a bit later to finish our rug, which I was very grateful for. I highly recommend tufting with another person as it was easier to tag team and take turns tufting. Both my boyfriend and I agreed that tufting was really fun and that it was in the top 3 most enjoyable dates we've had so far. Overall, I had a great time and I would definitely come back again if the opportunity presents itself. I was trying to think what could have gone better, but I couldn't think of anything. Thus, I am giving this review 5 stars. read more

What a great experience! I've never heard about tufting until recently and finally got to try it this past weekend. I liked that each staff member educated each pair of guests by going over safety measures, how to use the equipment, and anything else necessary. The process starts with tracing whatever picture was brought in as that'll be used as a template. It took me a few tries to get use to the tufting gun. I love that all the visual of all the colors available, and they had plenty! The website mentioned that this may take 4-5 hours to complete. My friend and I took almost 6 hours and no one rushed us out, thank you. Upon almost finishing, a staff will come to make sure you've filled in the gaps as once the backing is put on the rug, there's no more edits. Materials and snacks provided. The cost is averaging about $100/person depending on which package you choose. Overall, I think it was worth it for the hours of entertainment provided and I got to take home my masterpiece. #5/2024 read more

Phoebe was knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and helpful. Her attention to detail helped us perfect our projects. She has an extensive yarn color selection! We enjoyed learning a new craft and completing our project in the same visit, within the suggested time. The TuTu LLC reusable bag to take home our project was a fun bonus! We will be back for another project! read more

Booked a beginner class for 6 people and a medium rug for my S/O. We went in for the 10 AM class and were blown away with the quality of service and attention to detail Phoebe and her team offered. They would check in periodically to see if we had questions and also offered to step in and help for harder sections of the design. We were unable to finish the medium size rug in the first session so we organized a time to come back and finish. We loved the process, design, and experience at the studio!! It was cozy, comfortable and provided a fun way to try out a new hobby. Would definitely recommend and come back for future rug tufting projects. read more

I booked a group beginner tufting workshop at Tutu for my girlfriend's birthday party, and our experience was above and beyond what we ever could've expected. From the start, Phoebe was the perfect host, patiently communicating back and forth over email to help me coordinate the right package for our group size, pricing, designs, all the logistics that normally would have made me dread booking any type of group workshop anywhere but were so easy for me with Tutu. Come the actual workshop, I was so touched by how much they had tailored the workshop to be the perfect birthday experience for my girlfriend and our guests, from setting up their own birthday banner and marking my girlfriend's tufting station with small birthday decorations, to even providing a small fridge for us to store the birthday cakes during our workshop. Everyone at Tutu was so welcoming, kind, and attentive, even wearing the goofy birthday hats I had brought for our party with a smile on their faces the whole time. Phoebe even took photos and videos of our party on her own so we could focus on tufting and enjoy our time together instead of stressing about taking photos for ourselves, and they let me connect my phone to the Bluetooth speaker to play my own playlist for us to work to The activity of tufting itself was also perfect for a group activity, with all the equipment being provided in good condition and staff being so supportive and skilled at helping us create our rugs and polish up our finished creations (Phoebe's mom Janet helped me finish mine and she was INSANE at trimming and texturing). They provided a snack station with a pretty wide variety of Asian pastries, snacks, and drinks for us to take breaks. And you WILL need to take breaks, as the whole process of tufting, gluing, trimming, and finishing our designs took all of us longer than our 4 hour allotted time slot. Even with us going a bit over time, everyone on staff was so patient and supportive and didn't pressure us at all, helping us as we finished our designs until each of us were satisfied with our creations. I would highly recommend booking a good amount of time beforehand (I booked 2 months out just because I already knew the date/time I had in mind), and when they say the workshop may take more time than they predict, they MEAN it, since it really does depends on everyone's skill and the type of design you want to create. And while the pricing may seem a bit steep at first (our group discounted came out to $95/person), once you get to your workshop and see all the time, materials, and care and attention you will need to take to turn your design into a reality, the price is actually so much value for the space, materials/equipment, support, and overall experience that Phoebe and everyone will deliver to you at Tutu. You can truly tell everyone at Tutu enjoys the art and craftsmanship of tufting and cares about delivering the best experience possible to anyone who wants to step into their workspace. All of us walked away with our creations, smiles on our faces, and an amazing experience that we will definitely be coming back for again. Thank you Tutu! read more

One of my most memorable date experiences! We chose this place because it allowed for 2 people to work on one rug and we felt that the medium size was perfect for us! They hosts were very friendly and helpful in helping us create the perfect quality rug and color matched us to the right yarn too. It's a long physical process but the end result is so worth it! I see the rug every time I go into our bathroom now and it makes me smile so much. They have snacks and drinks here for their customers and play music while you work too! We went during their anniversary month so they gave us a free cup and tufted coaster too. read more

So much fun! You don't need any prior experience coming to this workshop. Bring water and some snacks or eat a big meal before coming. We spent a good amount of hours here. The studio is located on the bottom floor in a shared business building that has their own parking lot. The studio is small, but Phoebe says she has a bigger studio for company outings too. Bring your own design, make sure it's an outline and not a photo. We lucked out and did a couples special during 4th of July discount. So we thought it was a reasonable price to pay. We also were able to make a pretty decent size rug. The goal is to finish your rug, so highly recommend keeping your design simple like big shapes and less colors because then you'll have to switch the yarn every section. One of our lessons learned. You can take breaks but it's one of those projects that when you get into the zone, you don't want to lose momentum. You get to practice with the tufting gun before doing your own rug. For the most part, Phoebe will leave you to it but she's around if help is needed like tufting eyes or something. You don't use industrial glue in class for safety reasons. All in all it's a great activity to do as a date day or girls day! Not many places like this either. Make sure you have patience and don't take the class so seriously. read more

My boyfriend and I booked the couple session for his birthday and it was an amazing experience! We made a rug together and it was so fun, would highly recommend. When we first walked in, one of the first things that I noticed was that Phoebe had set out some chocolate, a balloon, and a birthday card at our tufting station--we immediately felt welcomed. Our session went from 4-9 PM and we actually ran a bit over time because of all the steps that go into tufting! We brought our dog and she stayed in her carrier next to our station for most of it with no issues. Phoebe was super nice and knowledgeable, leading us through a tufting tutorial first and then guiding us as we completed our own rug. As for the session itself, everyone was mostly working quietly and Phoebe played some music in the back. It was a very relaxing atmosphere. I'd say for the price, the couple session is a good way to get your foot in the door and try rug tufting for the first time. For us, it's more of a one-time thing so we felt like it was worth it! read more

A group of my friends came here to tuft for our friend's birthday and it was so much fun! It was all of our first times and the staff here was super friendly and patient with us. They offered free snacks and drinks as well which was much appreciated as we spent a couple hours here! My friends and I made smaller rugs and there was enough space for all of us (8) to move freely and have our own little working areas. I would highly recommend and would definitely come back again! read more

My boyfriend and I had so much fun at Tutu during the couple session! We celebrated our first year anniversary with Tutu and they were so thoughtful and gave us a nice card with a bottle of wine to wish us happy anniversary. This location is located in a small plaza with dedicated parking. The studio is on the first floor towards the front of the building next to the stairs. It's a small and intimate space but the staff was welcoming and made sure we had what we needed for our 5 hour session. She had drinks and snacks prepared in case people got hungry. The couple session was with two other parties so we had about 6 people with the instructor. She was helpful in getting us setup and also showing us how to properly use the equipments. She let us practice going in different direction on her practice sheet to get a feel which was really helpful! I was so glad that the instructor encouraged us to go with a design we thought might be too complicated because it ended up turning out really well! She helped guide us how to simplify the drawing and how to make it work from a design standpoint and I'm so glad we worked with her closely throughout the session. I encourage folks to try to get more help from the instructor if you're unsure about how to proceed or what to do. I can see why tufting can be addicting and I recommend giving Tutu a try! Would recommend making sure you have food before hand and be prepared to work on the rug for a couple hours. It's a lot of fun and the tie flies by. Overall we had a great experience here. read more

All I can say is be prepared to put in the work! Personally, it was an experience out of my budget but worth it. I emailed them ahead of time to ask some questions and got prompt replies. I booked two medium-size rug tufting. We drove from SF. There's guest parking on the first floor garage area where their studio is located as well. You come in with your design idea - they suggest big simple shapes and thick outlines. Then you can connect your phone to the bluetooth projector to trace your image. After they'll do a whole introductory tutorial to teach you how to use the tufting gun and you'll be able to practice before going in on your rug. Don't worry too much about messing up because it's pretty forgiving and you build confidence as you go. If you're really set on a design with specific colors, it doesn't hurt to let them know beforehand to make sure they have enough yarn in stock. Also side note but they don't use the industrial strength backing glue here because it's toxic especially in such a small space, which is fine because I don't expect my rug to be purposed for a lot of traffic. Our rugs turned out great and they're holding up fine so far. They love pets! I brought my dog and they welcomed him and even offered to help take care of him while I'm busy. They set up the workshop prior to our arrival to accommodate more space for him to be around us, since there were others in our session as well. Good music is playing (keshi, lo-fi, etc.) They also made us milk tea ft. Tutu and his carrots he loved - read their story on how they got here to know. They have plenty of drinks and snacks but you'll most likely be in the zone. I believe you can also bring your own. It takes approximately 5 hours for a medium rug. Honestly we ended up staying over an hour past closing since we were each doing our own rug. Others booked the couple's special and were working together on one rug - so that's also a great option if you don't mind sharing the experience and want a more affordable option. I felt so bad, but they were so nice about it and Phoebe still helped with shaving/trimming our rugs. We still have to detail it more on our own to make it perfect. She let us know all the tips and tricks. They helped us out so much. Come check out this cute studio and support these artist turned business owners. It's a hard world out there, and we got to learn about the art industry as we stayed and chatted. Really enjoyed their company and hanging out. This was such a memorable and fun workshop. It can also be v therapeutic (if you're not rushing haha). Thanks so much for the birthday chocolates btw! read more

I greatly enjoyed my time at Tutu LLC. The owners are very nice and rug tufting was surprisingly easy to get a hang of. They had every supply ready to make beautiful rugs. I think the couples deal is worth since you can make 2 small rugs or 1 medium rug together. We stayed at the workshop from 9AM to around 2PM. They offered coffee and some snacks which helped a lot. They also give cute bags to take your rug home in! Overall a great experience for rug tufting. I liked that you learn the process from start to finish: tufting, cutting, gluing, and finishing the rug. The workspace is pretty small and cosy. Be prepared with your art on your phone since they connect it to a mini projector. It is on the first floor so walk straight to the front from the parking garage and you will see it. We had to wander around the building a bit because we got lost. But it's really easy to spot on the FIRST floor. read more

My boyfriend booked this Beginner's Tufting class for us and was definitely a new experience! It was a very enjoyable date idea - it was beginner friendly and we both walked out with beautiful pieces regardless of our artistic abilities! For two people, it costed about ~$240 for two medium canvases which we both agreed was reasonable as we spent 5-6 hours at the studio. The studio was not hard to find as it was on a main road and we were able to find street parking very quickly. It looks like they have two studios, one on the first floor and one upstairs on the third floor. Our class was on the third floor in a small, charming studio that fit about 8 work spaces. The hosts were knowledgeable, patient and very friendly! We can tell they are passionate about art. They started us with an introduction and mini tutorial. I struggled a bit in the beginning, and she was very patient to guide me to practice some more! It's definitely a trust the process type of project and in the end, we were very happy with the results/fruit of our labor. We ended up being the last two to leave close to closing time and they were so sweet and kind and we never rushed. Snacks, water and Asian teas/drinks were also provided which was a nice touch. They even took photos and recorded a time-lapse video of the group and shared it with us at the end of the day! Thanks for the lovely experience Tutu LLC! Would highly recommend this as an activity for yourself, with your s/o, or a group of friends. read more

My partner and I booked a beginner workshop after getting a discount for booking at the SJMade Holiday Craft Fair. It was SO much fun! Our workshop lasted about 4.5 hrs but Phoebe and Jeff were very helpful to guide you through the process. They're very approachable and always ready to help with any questions you may have. Def take their advice in their pre-workshop email and eat a big meal beforehand because it's a long process. Considering the time and all the gear involved, I think it's worth the price. They also offer some snacks and refreshments! Especially to try out something new and create something of your own! I do wish there was a wider selection for yarn shades and hues but we were still able to make do. read more

SUPER FUN tufting session! We love supporting small businesses. We came for our friend's 30th birthday. Phoebe is a great teacher. There is a tiny studio perfect for learning. Upstairs they have another room for people who are doing long sessions. Jeff is fun to talk to. I continuously asked Jeff and phoebe to check my work while I was working since it was my first time which was helpful. I would say if you're unsure, definitely ask them to check yours as you're going to help you feel more confident. Super fun girls day. Would be so fun as a date or girls day. We did the 2 hour mini which was a good first time! Snacks and drinks provided. read more

I don't want to bring this particular small business down, but there is definitely room for improvement. My friend and I went and agreed that the experience was a 4/5 when we left the store and then the more we talked and spent time with our rugs we came to the conclusion that our whole experience was a 3/5. Booking- I wish there were more instructions regarding the designs you should bring in with you. Because it wasn't until we got there that we were greeted with an immediate "I hope you guys have time to finish" and phoebe definitely repeated this so much that it gave us some anxiety and it just wasn't the best mindset to start the day off with. Snacks- they were provided which was great, but because you're so in the zone it's hard to take breaks Helpfulness- we felt like there wasn't enough hands on help/tips and tricks from phoebe. And her husband was gone for quite a few hours so she was our sole teacher for the bulk of the time and I think it would've been beneficial to have two teachers and have a ratio of teacher to student be 2:6 instead of 1:6. It wasn't until the end of the class until we hand hands on assistance with gluing and trimming. I even had to help my friend I came with finish the tufting aspect so that he can finish quickly which led me to need help with the trimming process from the teachers. Quality- the yarns provided were fine although if you did want a particular color to cover a large area you should make sure they have enough because they have an array of yarn colors but not many spools/ skeins of yarn of the same color. Also, the glue we used was similar to Elmer's glue, spray glue and hot glue guns. Meanwhile, every rug tufting video I've seen had been a thick creamy yellow glue that needed 24 hours to dry before you can finish it. And we used a combination of Elmer's glue, hot glue gun, and glue spray, the glue spray was quite useless because the black backing of my rug detached from my rug the second I brought it home and you can see where the backing gapped from the rug. I can hot glue it back but I shouldn't have to (pics are shown). I'm glad there was music because it was super silent minus the humming of the tufting machine. Worth it?- considering we paid 250$ per "large rug" I am not certain it was worth the experience. I would have been down to pay more and know my rug will be 100% in tact even if that means I have to come back to do the trimming and wait for the glue to completely dry. I also felt that the time allotted for the session should've been longer if they knew many people do not finish their rug in time and set the expectation to come back or make smaller rugs. I'm glad I was able to finish my rug but I was definitely rushed and had to help my friend finish which I didn't mind but that took time away from my rug making experience. Overall, I'm glad I went to a class because I've been wanting to go to a tufting class for so long and there aren't many studios because this is a more up and coming hobby. It's just the whole experience could have been smoother. read more

I came to visit a friend and she suggested we all go to a rug tufting class. We each made a medium sized rug. I was very excited since I love doing crafts and art projects.

I came here to do tufting with some friends. We booked online in advance with a discount from an Instagram account and got two 2-person medium canvases. We brought our dog too, and they were happy to see him after we confirmed via email. We arrived around 1 pm, and they reviewed our designs to ensure they were simple enough to execute. They gave a demonstration on how to tuft and watched us practice once before we started. We chose our yarn and began tufting. You get the hang of it pretty quickly, though it can get harder to do consistently the longer you go. We also noticed that some of the tufting guns didn't work quite the same. Luckily, we were able to use two guns at the same time, which was great since we were working on multiple designs. They checked on us several times, answering any questions and providing help. They also offered various drinks and snacks, though we were mainly focused on tufting. They gave my dog a lot of treats, which was a nice touch. After we finished, they cut off the design, and we glued the edges. They applied the backing, and we cleaned up the edges and shaved the yarn. The employees helped shave some of our designs based on the pattern. They also offered to add hangers on the back. We received our creations in a nice reusable bag that can be converted into a small carrot keychain. We ended up spending around 7-8 hours here, which might have went over their closing time but they were okay with it. Although it seems like a hefty price upfront, it ended up being around $10 per person per hour, which is not too bad (plus you get to bring home your creations). Overall, it was a really nice experience, and I would definitely come here again! read more

Wow!! What a fun, unique, and creative day date!! I read really amazing reviews about this place & saw videos on instagram and couldn't wait to book an appointment with my boyfriend to make a rug. Phoebe, the shop owner, was soo kind and had such great hospitality. She walked us through the whole process as this was our first time, she gave us super thorough instructions and made it so easy to learn! I marked that we were celebrating our anniversary this weekend and she actually surprised us with a bottle of wine!! It was so sweet and thoughtful of her and the shop also had a ton of snacks and refreshments that we could have throughout our time there as well. We were lucky enough to be the only ones in the shop this morning and Phoebe let us play our music on her bluetooth speaker and my boyfriend and I had such an enjoyable time creating our rug together and just having fun! Also- another plus, a close by shop has a cat named Art who came to pay us a visit and he was so cute & sweet too. I can't speak highly enough about this place, it may be a little small but it is so cozy and welcoming and that is all thanks to Phoebe! If you are looking for a fun, creative date with a partner, or with a friend or family member, this place is the place for you! read more

Tutu was such a great choice to try tufting for the first time. The owners were super nice and accommodating and taught us everything we needed to know to get going with the tufting gun. It was really fun after you get the hang of it, but after a while it definitely starts to feel like a workout because you have to apply a lot of pressure with the gun over a long period of time. We chose a medium sized rug and we were there from 1pm to 5:30pm so its a pretty long time commitment. But time flies when you're focused on making a dope rug. They also provide snacks and drinks. Definitely suggest a medium sized rug or two small rugs if you're going as a couple for your first time. Ours costed $200 to make and I think it was super worth it. Fantastic experience overall and would definitely suggest it if you are interested in trying tufting. read more

So worth the drive from SF!! My partner surprised me with a rug tufting class at Tutu for my birthday - and it was truly the best day ever! First off - Phoebe was incredibly communicative prior to the class - we knew exactly what we needed to do walking in. She was so flexible and helpful while we were deciding on a design. She gave an amazing tutorial and was super patient with my partner who was struggling a bit with the tufting gun The vibes were awesome; fun music - delicious snacks, wine, and coffee all included. There was even an adorable cat who stopped by the shop! All in all it was such a fun experience. Phoebe is so nice and so funny and I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is interested in rug tufting. Such a good gift! Now that we have tried it once and got the hang of it - I will definitely be back! Thank you Tutu!!! read more

Unprofessional. Poor communication and rude staff. There is no number to contact them so any attempt to cancel will basically just result in them robbing you. read more

Amazing experience!!! would definitely do it again. Made a rug for my birthday and was a highlight of the day
