Make your own
textile art
A 5-hour intensive in hand-tufted textile art, designed for complete beginners. Create your own framed wall piece.
[ 01 — Outcome ]
Design your own artwork,
or choose from existing studio designs.
What you'll create
You'll learn hand-tufting — the technique behind sculptural textile art — and create a 30×30cm designer wall piece from start to finish. No prior experience required.
You'll work with premium wool yarn, choose from custom 3D-printed frames (round or square, two colorways), and your piece will be professionally carved and finished.
Finished Piece Example
Exact workshop format: 30x30cm framed piece. You’ll be guided to develop a design that suits your level and aesthetic, with support from idea to finished piece.

The Lab
An art lab in Ericeira, Portugal — where every piece is made by hand, combining traditional craft with contemporary design technology.
Nadia Sotnikova — former UX designer turned textile artist, working at the intersection of hand-tufting and 3D printing.
Poster Therapy started as a healing practice — making tools to reclaim the nervous system. Objects that actually affect your inner state.
"I make objects for coming back to yourself — illuminated wall portals, soft domestic objects, and tools for makers."
— Nadia Sotnikova
