How Nice Studio Started

Our Story

How Nice Studio Started

What began as a creative hobby quickly grew into a space where people could learn, create and connect.

Since 2022, we’ve welcomed hundreds of participants into our workshops, created custom rugs for homes and businesses, and helped makers start their own tufting journey.

Today, Nice Studio combines creativity, education and craftsmanship through workshops, custom projects and carefully selected supplies.
