MOMUS Museum X 40ROOMORS

40Roomors and the Education Curators of MOMus–Museum of Modern Art organized a three-day hands-on creative workshop focused on the tufting technique. The works of Russian artists associated with Organic Pedagogy provide ideas and inspiration for compositions featuring organic forms and dynamic relationships between color and shape. Landscapes, as well as representations of the macrocosm and the microcosm, can serve as a starting point for the creation of small tufted rugs.

By the end of the workshop, each participant acquired the basic knowledge required for transferring a design onto the special tufting fabric, inserting yarns into the surface using tufting guns, applying backing materials, shaving the pile, creating relief and textured forms on the rug’s surface, finishing the piece, and, of course, completing their own handmade rug.
