The owner, Tammy, did a great job of walking us through making our own felted scarves. We got to pick our own colors and our patterns. The instructions were easy enough that we all made something beautiful our first time out! Perfect social outing for friends or a club.

I highly recommend this company for their abundant knowledge, professionalism, quality, and workmanship. I ordered 5 Turquois rugs for our Summer home. I met with Tammy at TLD Design because I could not find anyone else who could make the custom size and color I was needing. I had ordered years ago from TLD and was lucky to have kept the invoice. I am ecstatic and happy. My new rugs are perfect size and color I was looking for to match my wicker furniture. I wish I could attach a pic. My woven rugs are perfect. Thanks to Tammy and the staff who helped in this project.

I've taken a couple of classes here, some before the pandemic and one since (as well as a class at her Berwyn location as the day worked better). When I had trouble figuring out her website, the owner worked with me, and when I took a class wanting to do something very specific (make a traditional wired-brim hat that duplicated the look of one from a film), she helped me with that too even though it was slightly different from what the class was about (making an artistic felt hat).This is the only place in the suburbs that I know of which does any kind of millinery classes (felt hats from wool roving), and I'm grateful it's available. The owner's primary focus is the fabric arts (felting; weaving; dyeing) but also offer some bead and jewelry classes; the class I just took was a jewelry-making class in silver, copper, brass and even bronze taught by another artist. We all walked out with a generous handful of pieces we'd made and it was a lot of fun.I feel lucky to have access to such a variety of classes without having to drive in to Chicago, and the Berwyn studio is also fairly convenient. You might be taking a class all by yourself or with some other people; she has huge quantities of supplies, is patient guiding students, and you'll leave with something cool you made yourself. (She also sells tools and some of her / others' art. Some open studio available.)Limited parking in the back; some street parking. Studio might be a bit cold in the winter; consider a sweater or hoodie.

Many years ago, I learned how to weave with Tammy and because of her instruction and encouragement, I'm still at it today! She's an expert on everything fiber-related and you can't go wrong spending time at TLD Design Center. The atmosphere is colorful and energetic. Combined with Tammy's knowledge and experience, you will be in good hands! I highly recommend TLD Design Center!

This is a really fun place and well worth the trip. Tammy is knowledgeable, patient, and generous with her time and skills. If you have the least bit of interest in weaving or other fiber arts, or if you are looking for a unique accessory, treat yourself to a visit.
