Bio
Well hello there, folks! It's none other than Jamie, reporting in!
​
Now, let me tell you a little something about myself. I hail proudly from the exquisite land of Newcastle, where I was born and raised. Why aye!
From delectable grub to lively markets, from fabulous shopping to captivating art and music – this city has it all!​
​I must say, I'm quite the art lover. I've always had a knack for creating unique gifts that you won't find just anywhere! ​
Speaking of markets and shopping, let me regale you with an adventure I embarked upon with my sisters back in the year 2014. We set up our very own market stalls, offering a "kawaii" (meaning "cute" in Japanese) gifts and a range of handmade goodies throughout Newcastle. Talk about a bloomin' good time!​
And as for me, during that pandemic lockdown, I took an unexpected journey to Norwich and discovered a hidden talent for rugmaking. The intricacy and artistry of it all had me hooked, I tell ya!
So, I decided to establish my very own rug-making studio. Oh, the adventures I've had, teaching others this beautiful craft and collaborating with some pretty fancy-schmancy brands!​
​But ya know what? Something just wasn't quite right – my heart yearned for the comforting embrace of home.
So, in the grand year of 2023, I made the heartfelt decision to relocate my studio back to good ol' Newcastle. Moving all courses online and focusing on the brands.
​
And let me tell you folks, it's been an absolute blast! I'm thrilled to be back with my sisters at our bustling market stalls, while continuing to grow my rug-making business. Life is just gravy, I tell ya!
What is tufting?
Tufting is a modern take on the traditional craft of rug-making.
Using a tufting gun to weave yarn through a cut of monk's cloth, create abstract patterns, colour-fields or contemporary designs, and finish custom rugs, vibrant wall tapestries and other hand-tufted textiles that make you happy.
CUSTOM ORDERS
Do you have a rug design in mind but don’t know where to start? Or you have a meaningful drawing in mind or on a piece of paper in your sketch book that you want to turn to life!
Whether it is a mirror, rug or cushion...Wang Studio can help create one of a kind bespoke tufted pieces. This is a rare opportunity since most manufacturers don’t accept small orders from artists.
Designed rugs made to order:
- large-scale floor/wall art works
- Unique gifts to your loved ones
- Play rugs of your kid’s favourite drawing
- Tufted rug style mirror
- The possibilities are endless.
Please allow 3-5 days for smaller-medium pieces.
Don’t know where to start? Let us know more about your ideas and we will go from there :D
Want to make your own hand-tufted rug/wall hanging art?
If you are in with the Tik Tok craze...then you may have you seen some rug-making process videos on TikTok.
You probably became consumed with the idea of doing it yourself? Or perhaps you're an artist looking for a new creative outlet?
Tufting is an incredibly rewarding craft to learn and I am passionate about sharing it with others.
