Best studios for rug tufting in Singapore
1. WeTuft
Roll up your sleeves and get tufting at WeTuft. You can choose from 60 different shades of yarn – perfect for creating vibrant rainbow rugs, or even cool monotone designs (if that’s your jam). WeTuft offers two-hour and four-hour workshops, depending on the size of rug you want. Here’s a tip: if you go for the shorter class, pick simpler designs for an easier time.
It’s also no stuffy studio! Think large windows overlooking Orchard Road that you can stare out of when you need a quick eye break. And, if you want to take pictures to commemorate the day, you can do so in front of the studio’s super Insta-worthy wall of yarn.

2. Tuft Club
Give it up for these tough guys, aka the first rug tufting studio in Singapore! Tuft Club sits along the buzzing Circular Road and offers customers the opportunity to create their own bespoke rugs and mirrors. New to tufting? You don’t have to worry if you have no experience. Its instructors will give you a little crash course at the start.
We tried our hand at it and loved how the friendly staff took the time to check in and lend help whenever we struggled. A word of advice: you might want to do some stretching before heading in. Tufting’s actually quite a workout, and we were sore all over for days after. Totally worth it, though!
