    Such an amazing date night adventure! We'd never tufted so we had a really nice night with India - just 4 of us total. We got the rundown on how to use the machine and make whatever we wanted - the whole start and end was well done. There was ample yarn of any color we wanted too! We were checked in on often but also left to our own devices to focus on our tufting. It was kind of a core workout in the end too! It's expensive, but totally worth it for the lesson and equipment and experience.

    My colleagues and I had such a great time at the terrarium workshop. The instructions were very clear and thorough but they didn't hover too much and allowed us to chat with each other. While I am very crafty I fell like this could be good for any range of talents. The rug tufting workshop looked like a lot of fun! I'll be trying that one out next!

    Brief summary: - Located around the financial district vicinity - Went with a group for a work-related event - Surprisingly easy to do, after learning the basics and the pre-cautions - Projects are cute and small sized, large enough for a cat to lie on - TLDR: I would like to do this again I attended this arts and crafts workshop with my work colleagues. I always wanted to do this since I was first introduced on a social media app. This building is, I would say hidden, between the financial district streets. Fortunately, there is a sign propped near the entrance, in case you are struggling to find the location. The staff is very kind and instructed how to use the tools well. Safety was first rule, so we learned how to handle the tuft guns. They also provided Turkish delights and tea as they explained how to use the tools. The tutorial was split into two sessions, and we learned each after a certain amount of time. My personal learnings is that outlining was hard to do, so I would not have drawn thicker lines inside a larger piece, but I did like how the double outline looked great on the exterior. I also suggest looking at the yarn color options before choosing the template you want because that could change your expected outcome. They offered a variety of standard colors, but if you were planning to make detailed gradations that could be difficult.

    It's definitely a FUN event to go to w/ friends or to do as a group activity. I had a lot of fun and was focused when I was trying to design my lamp. You don't have to but I would look at couple of designs for the lamp and style you want online so you have an idea of what you want before coming in. Parking: If you don't live in SF and drove, I would come earlier to find a parking. We came on a Sunday so parking was free and the city wasn't crowded. The process is fairly simple and the instructor will explain before the class. There are some tea and a sweet treat for you if you wanted to try a turkish delight. Giving it a 5 stars because I had forgotten a piece of my lamp when they wrapped up in a box for me to take home and when I reached out to them, owner responded right away and I got the piece within a week and was mailed it to me! Great service! Thank you :)

    Booked a rug tufting session for my partners birthday. Kadir was super helpful and informative. Definitely recommend everyone to check it out!

    Finished lamp!

    Because of our poor experience the first time, the staff was kind enough to offer us a makeup course to have a better experience. This time we did the Turkish lamp workshop. I will say, when there isn't a 20 person birthday party, the vibes are way more relaxed and chill. It was a lot more fun this time around and there was no shortage of resources or help from the teacher. Hopefully the first experience was an exception then, making the lamp was super fun and a good activity to do with friends and there were lots of color options. Zee was a great instructor!!

    don't leave space in between tiles I learned the hard way

    Overall okay experience. Firstly we knock on the suite door and nobody answers, so we start calling out until we eventually go in ourself and find the employee all the way in the back with music playing. She did not know what class we were there for, nor did she know about the coffee add on we had until we notified her half way through the class. I was hoping the employee would be around to answer questions we had but they were in another room teaching a desperate workshop as we stayed with the lamps. Then as we were leaving she almost packed our lamps with the wrong stands as again she did not know we ordered the swan and moon stand for our pieces.

    An awesome experience with Mr. Scientist! We found the tufting experience through Yelp and booked through their website. At the time there was a 30% of promo which was fantastic. Upon entering, we were greeted with freshly brewed Turkish coffee and small snacks. The overall experience was great and he did a nice job of leading us through the steps, providing examples and stepping into help when needed. The total activity took around 3 hours for a 28" x 24" frame. First you trace your design on the canvas with a marker, then choose your yarn (there's plenty of colors), and finally you can start tufting. Pro-tip bring a simple design to tuft as it can be quite a learning curve. Generally straight lines with less details are easier to do so keep that in mind. After finishing the design, Mr. Scientist will shave the rug to make it level and glue a backing on so you have to come back to pick it up. Just keep that in mind if you're from out of town.

    This was a really fun experience, I'd recommend it! Went here as a surprise activity and had a lot of fun making Turkish mosaic lamps. Plenty of options for colors, wide selection for design examples. It was a 2 hour class, with guidance from an instructor for a quick tutorial beforehand. The service here was great, the guide was very helpful and hospitable. Recommendations: if you would like to take your time with the designs, a 2.5 hour or 3 hour time slot would be better! 2 hours passed by quite fast. Additionally, the materials used can be quite sticky on the hands, it would be helpful to have sanitizer wipes to assist with this as it can be distracting during the design process.

    The metal needles keep scratching my hands :(

    The experience was fun and tiring at the same time! We arrived at 1pm, but started later since the other group before us were finishing up. We didn't leave the place till almost 5pm , which took up four hours of our time. Personally, I thought the process was kind of messy. We didn't practice beforehand , and we were thrown in the wolves to figure out ourselves. We did get a demo, but I wish we can practice a little beforehand. Since it was a group of 6-8 people , the instructor wasn't able to help everyone. There wasn't ton of colors to choose from compare to other tufting workshop. I wish we had a projector to outline the shape , so it will be easier to tuft. And the board outline was surrounded by metal needles that were scratching my hand, I got 4 scratches on my hand. And we had to bend our back to other side to shave off our rug , I wish there's better instructions like lay it flat on the table to shave it. I guess there wasn't enough space to do so. Instructor was nice, but I feel the whole tufting process was messy and instructions weren't clear.

    I joined a Turkish mosaic lamp making class on a Tuesday and it was the highlight of my week! Kadir is incredible, he is so warm and welcoming into the studio. He took the time to explain each step and provided a great atmosphere. I don't consider myself to be artistic or creative, so I appreciated the example patterns on the placemats in front of you. It was a soothing experience and I'm very happy with how my lamp turned out! I would recommend anyone take a class here and I'd like to check out the rug tufting classes next time.

    Well paced and unique experience in SF. We did the rug tufting class which took about 3 hours. The instructors were helpful and there were lots of yarn colors to pick from. I recommend coming in with a simple cartoon design in advance to not waste time at the start.

    My first attempt ever tufting. I got my dimensions all wrong but still happy overall.
