Tufting Workshops
RugBurn Studio offers several types of tufting workshops in Kreuzberg, Berlin.
Classes are offered in different levels of technical involvement and size options, for beginners and experienced tufters alike. We work with three types of tufting machines to create a range of heights, depths, and textures. Participants can either arrive with a design or inspiration to work with, or create an experimental design on the spot.
All workshops are taught in English. The studio is centrally located in Kreuzberg, accessible from Kottbusser Tor and Görlitzer Bahnhof.

The Artist
Angela Slider is a California born textile artist currently practicing in Berlin after spending the past five years finding her artistic voice in New York City. She utilizes a combination of machine tufting, weaving, embroidery, and fiber dyeing in her pieces, which range from rugs to furniture to wearable art.
Her work is deeply rooted in her childhood in 90’s car-centric LA, pulling inspiration from fast food drive-thrus to urban signage and motifs. She explores the distinctly unique crossroads between traditional folk tapestry and Memphis Milano pop art, with subject matter spanning from abstracts in saturated colors to foods high in saturated fats.
