The Tuft Lounge is a cozy, creative, and interactive pop-up space where festival-goers can chill, connect, and co-create a community rug using a rug tufting machine. Inspired by the hands-on, welcoming atmosphere of TuftxPVD workshops, this activation turns passive spectators into collaborators in a live art piece.

Savaree “Sav” Hazard-Chaney is a 401-based, self-taught artist whose work navigates the intersections of culture, community, and design. Through fibers,textiles and creative activations, Sav brings stories,memories and lots of nostalgia to life with a unique and vibrant perspective. Her passion for rug tufting led her to establish TuftxPVD, Rhode Island’s first Black, Queer, and Woman-owned rug tufting studio.

TuftxPVD offers a unique creative space for folks to explore the art of rug tufting. Students participate in hands-on, artist-led workshops designed to teach the essentials of rug tufting from start to finish, regardless of experience level.

With a strong commitment to community Sav hopes her experience and knowledge will help inspire not only the fiber arts community but also other young black entrepreneurs.
