“Thank you very much for taking this Domestika course with me! I hope that this learning will be useful to you and that you will enjoy carrying out your final project. Now it's your turn to start tufting! Take care to document the different stages of your creation. I would like to see it in the presentation of your project. It will also allow me to better assist you if you have any questions. Before we get started, we'll go over the key phases of tufting: Sketches and colors Choose the pattern you are going to make using a mood board. Then, group the elements that you like and compose your ideal design. Finally, choose your balls, making sure that the colors and materials match together.

I really, really want to see the rugs you bring to life. I will respond to your posts and questions as soon as possible, but in the meantime I encourage you to watch what your fellow students have been up to and comment on their posts. See you soon !”
