    I had an amazing experience at the tufting workshop. Francisco was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and supportive throughout the entire process. The methodology was well-structured and easy to follow, even for beginners. The space itself was comfortable, and fully equipped, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. I left feeling inspired and confident. Highly recommended!

    More about your Teacher Francisco Couto

    Francisco Couto

    Francisco, also known as dead_laranja, is an illustrator and a visual artist that, for the last 4 years, has focused his work on the tufting technique.

    He found in tapestry a unique way to express his work and a beautiful process that is often described as meditative, and the perfect escape from the digital era.

    The Tufting Workshops started back in 2021 in Barcelona, and since then, it has always been about sharing the joy of this technique with people from all over the world. The classes are now back to Lisbon, the artist's beloved hometown.
