Get your creative juices flowing at Tutugether, an arts and crafts studio where people of all ages and skill levels can create a variety of fun, personalized projects. Tuft your own rug, pour paint over a sculpture, or try "Decoden" (a Japanese craft that involves gluing trinkets and charms onto objects, such as jewelry boxes and iPhone cases). Located inside Westfield Southcenter in Tukwila, this unique business would make an excellent idea for a date, a kid's outing, or even a relaxing solo adventure.
Reservations are recommended, but walk-ins are also accepted, subject to availability.
NEED TO KNOW
Make Your Own Tufted Rug: Imagine having a throw rug with your favorite animated character on it? Come ready with a design in mind (you can also browse @tutugether_album on Instagram for ideas), and the staff will project your design onto a canvas of your chosen size for easy tracing. Each tufting customer receives a class and practice session. Once you’ve finished, the staff applies backing and trims your rugs for you to take home.
Pouring Art: Experience the fun of pouring acrylic paint over figures or canvases, letting the colors flow and blend into unique and abstract patterns. The process is simple and kid-friendly, and takes about 30-40 minutes.
Decoden (decorating objects): Bedazzle the object of your choice with cute charms of hearts, flowers, bows, Hello Kitty, and other popular characters. The staff uses a heat gun to dry your project upon completion, making it dry enough to take home. There are lots of charms to buy in-store, and you can bring in your own object to decorate as long as it's a suitable material.
