About Maoxxi
If you're looking to create a tufted piece that's genuinely useful in your daily life, not just another craft project gathering dust, then Maoxxi's Taipei Tufting Workshops are for you. Here, creation returns to its essence of "everyday" and "personal style." You decide the patterns and colors, focusing on the satisfaction of crafting something with your own hands—a piece that's both practical and utterly unique.
✦A DIY studio just a 5-minute walk from the MRT, right around the corner.
Maoxxi is located in downtown Taipei, near Guting Station and Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall Station. The studio is in the basement of a building, offering a spacious and bright environment for small-group instruction. Before your Taipei Tufting Workshops, simply add their official LINE account, and a dedicated staff member will greet you, ensuring you won't get lost even on your first visit.
✦Unleash your creativity: draw or write anything you like, with no limits on design.
Students can bring their own designs, from anime characters and pet portraits to hand-drawn illustrations, and the finished product will not have a logo, making it perfect for gifts or personal use. You can also add an embroidered name tag with custom text and colors. The instruction emphasizes creative freedom, with no outsourcing or interference; instructors only provide technical assistance when necessary, allowing each student to complete their work at their own pace.
✦Unleash your creativity, but never feel lost: Maoxxi's instructors are there to guide you every step of the way.
Maoxxi offers a design transfer service, so students can easily get started by simply following instructions to operate the tufting gun. During the process, the instructor provides tips on operating essentials and helps students master line density and coloring techniques. The teaching style emphasizes creative freedom and doesn't involve the instructor doing the work for you unless you ask for help. The instructor also pays close attention to safety, for example, reminding students to tie up their hair and providing hair ties — a thoughtful and meticulous approach to detail.

✦Mix and match any three items, from keyboard wrist rests to wedding favors.
At Maoxxi, tufting isn't just for rugs; you can also create practical items like keyboard wrist rests, coasters, headbands, and mirrors, making them perfect as wedding favors or couple's keepsakes. You can choose between 20x20 and 40x40 sizes for rugs, or pick any three small items to make.
✦Bags, dolls, parent-child workshops — the creative options keep expanding.
This Taipei Tufting Workshops venue has also been developing new items like bags and dolls, making tufting creations more practical and fun. For the summer, they're even planning parent-child classes that don't use a tufting gun, allowing younger children to participate safely and expanding the range of possible experiences.

Maoxxi Experience Review
Maoxxi’s studio is spacious, with tables that can be flexibly adjusted for different group sizes. They maintain a small class size with a 1:3 instructor-to-student ratio, ensuring everyone has ample space to work. The lighting uses natural tones, and there’s a dedicated photo area for snapping pictures with your creations. The atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable; you can even play your favorite music and chat with the instructors about TV shows until you become friends.
✦With over 90 thread colors to choose from, the instructors ensure the pattern difficulty is expertly vetted in advance.
Three days before your session, you can send your desired design to the official Maoxxi LINE account. The instructor will assess its difficulty and suggest adjusting the size or simplifying the design if it's too complex. The venue provides over 90 thread colors, ranging from common beiges to rare fluorescents, offering high creative flexibility to help you complete your piece successfully.
✦No worries if you can't finish — Maoxxi's tufting workshops offer a super thoughtful option to store your work and come back for a makeup session.
After your piece is finished, it will be glued and edged, and you can choose to complete some of these steps at home. If you can't finish on the same day, you can leave your work at the venue and schedule a follow-up session. The finished product is packaged in a thick plastic bag, making it waterproof and easy to carry.
✦The venue's resident dog makes occasional appearances, adding a warm, charming touch to the DIY experience.
At Maoxxi, you not only get to enjoy the fun of tufting, but you might also meet their adorable Pomeranian "little shop manager," who makes occasional appearances and instantly elevates the cozy atmosphere. We recommend eating beforehand, bringing water, and setting aside plenty of time, as nearly every participant loses track of time while working on their project. Taking your time and completing your creation thoroughly is the everyday rhythm here.
Mystery Shopper Rating
#Turn pets and anime characters into tufting art
Maoxxi is a handmade rug studio that deeply respects the creator's vision. From the moment you step inside to the final touches, every step of the process reinforces the feeling that "this is my own unique creation." The instructors don't over-interfere; instead, they observe each student's progress and style, offering timely advice and allowing everyone to work at their own pace.
During the workshop, Kayla accidentally tore a large hole in her fabric. She only asked for help when it was truly unmanageable. The instructor patiently patched the fabric, ensuring the piece was completed successfully. This demonstrated Maoxxi's effective and stress-free problem-solving approach.
Beyond rugs, tufting can transform into various small items like coasters, mirrors, and keyboard wrist rests. The flexible production methods and diverse options make these workshops perfect for a fun outing with friends. The most enjoyable part is the challenge of solving problems yourself, with instructors always ready to provide patient and professional assistance when needed, truly making creation a pleasure.
