Workshop

€100
19 Jul, 2025 - 20 Jul, 2025

Artist Asha Murray presents a two day punch needle tufting workshop for adults at the RHA.

Price €100 per person. Limited to 10 places.

Book and Pay HERE.

This workshop, reflecting the artist Ash Murray’s practice, will explore art making through the medium of tufting. Wool tufting is made by tufting wool through canvas either with a punch needle or tufting gun, resulting in a carpeted textile artform. This weekend will focus on the punch needle technique with an opportunity to also experience using a tufting gun. Workshops are suitable for beginners and experienced tufters alike.

All materials will be provided.

Please note this workshop is for 18+
