About the video: The finishes at the back 1
Overview
“Let's move on to the finishes. To start, I'll cut out the excess cotton canvas from the back of the rug. I will then cut out the primary canvas, and you will see how to seal it, this canvas being very crumbly.”
In this video lesson Guillaume (Atelier Paolo) addresses the topic: The finishes at the back 1, which is part of the Domestika online course: Tufting Technique for Creating Rugs. Learn to master the tufting gun to create a striking rug filled with shapes, colors and textures.
Partial transcription of the video
“Finishing the Back In the previous lesson, we glued the back of the rug. Now, we'll move on to the finishing touches. For this first step, I only need two tools: the big scissors and a lighter.

I'll begin. I'll place my scissors horizontally to be more at ease. I look. Everything is OK. I'll do this the whole way around.

A course by Guillaume (Atelier Paolo)
Guillaume had several lives before he started creating rugs. He tried his hand at baking, marketing, and fashion before finally settling in Toulouse after falling in love with the tufting technique. It was there in the so-called pink city that he opened his own creative space, Atelier Paolo, where he makes unique, colorful pieces entirely by hand and with lots of love and care.
His style is Mediterranean and bright, with pop art, Fauvist, and Cubist influences. Much like Picasso, Matisse, or Miró, he loves playing around with symbols such as the sun, the moon, or the human eye to create dreamlike works of art.
