Find Out More & Book

Learn the fundamentals of weaving on a rigid heddle loom that is warped and ready for your weaving journey. Find your own creative voice in weaving by learning a toolkit of weaving techniques and inspiration.

Over and under, up and down, in and out. Weaving is, at its heart, a simple and highly approachable craft - the most direct route from yarn to fabric. But it’s the very simplicity of this framework that creates endless possibilities for elaboration - from dazzling levels of technical complexity, to inspired examples of free-form self-expression.

This workshop will provide you with an introduction to the fundamentals of weaving, a rigid heddle loom that is warped and ready for your weaving journey, and an experience that emphasises finding your own creative voice in weaving. You will leave with an artistic woven piece  - perhaps a small scarf or wall hanging - and a tool kit of weaving techniques and inspiration. Perfect for beginners and anyone looking to learn and explore.
