The Content Creation Club’s Rug Turfing Workshop

By Justin McDaniel | Published November 19, 2022

Growing your club and finding new creative ways to stay engaged with the community are always positive ways to have an impact at school, and the Content Creation Club has been the perfect place for students to show off their talent.

Stephan Argent, secretary of the Content Creation Club, hosted his first event, a Tufting Rug Workshop.  In which he showcased his talent custom making a unique rug, which had been worked on by everyone attending the event. Each person put their own touch and signature on the rug while also resembling a draw four UNO card. 

During the workshop, Argent demonstrated how he created his rugs, and participants were allowed to help in the creation of the new UNO-inspired rug. Argent also had his other creations on display. 

“Initially I had came across some TikTok’s of creators making rugs of simple patterns and logos and I thought to myself that if I were to tap into this medium, I can do way better than what I was currently seeing,” Argent said. “I decided to make a self-titled project, STEPHAN 300. That consists of 10 rugs consisting of symbols, artists, and anime all pertaining to myself as an artist.”

Some of Argent’s pieces in his project were at the workshop for viewers to get an in-person perspective of the rugs he made including rugs that featured famous rappers or anime characters. 

Segun Ologundudu, president of the Content Creation Club said, “He’s always doing more, and he’s always trying to get better. His creativity was already very high when I first met him.”.

Having students engaged in an activity you don’t see often like this before helps with giving them a new experience. Everyone got to work on the rug created and got to leave their mark on the project by adding their own name to the project as well. 

“I feel that this event was a big step for my business and most importantly for me as a person,” Argent said. “I consider myself introverted and I don’t really like to be involved with social events due to school load and self-doubt until I decided to get involved with the  Content Creation Club. Ever since then, it’s been all love and support from every member.”

Argent and the rest of the Content Creation Club plan on having more Tufting Rug events and hope to be able to show off other talents students in the Content Creation Club have.
