Instructor Story
From Thangka Painting to Tufting Rugs
Welcome to First Rug™ Studio, where creativity meets craftsmanship in the beautiful town of Dharamshala. My name is Kunga Phuntsok(Founder of First Rug™), and my journey into the world of tufting is rooted in a lifelong passion for art and design.
The Artistic Foundation
For three years, I immersed myself in the art of Thangka painting, mastering the delicate strokes and intricate designs of traditional Tibetan art. This experience helped me develop a deep appreciation for creativity and craftsmanship. Alongside this, I’ve spent over a decade as a computer graphics designer, blending technology and art to bring ideas to life.
Discovering the Art of Tufting
While creating art through painting and design was fulfilling, I was always looking for new ways to express my creativity. That’s when I discovered the art of tufting. I initially started tufting rugs for my own home, exploring how yarn and fabric could be transformed into beautiful, functional pieces of art. What began as a hobby quickly became a passion, and I realized how much joy this craft could bring to others.
Sharing the Love for Tufting
I wanted to share this beautiful hobby with others, especially young people who are eager to create something personal and meaningful. Whether it’s a rug for your home, a gift for your parents, a cozy spot for your pet, or a heartfelt creation for your husband, wife, or friends, tufting offers a way to express your love and creativity.
A Workshop for Everyone
At First Rug™ Studio, I offer a hands-on tufting workshop designed for beginners and enthusiasts alike. With my background in art and design, I’ve created a learning environment where you’ll receive personalized attention and all the tools you need to create something truly special. My goal is to guide you through the process and help you experience the joy of making something with your own hands.
Join Me on This Creative Journey
I invite you to explore the world of tufting and create your own custom rug or wall hanging. Whether you’re looking to learn a new skill, make a meaningful gift, or simply enjoy a creative experience, this workshop is for you. Together, we’ll bring your artistic vision to life.
