4-Day Beginners’ Weaving Course / Introduction to Multi-shaft Weaving (two weekends)

This is a beginners’ course, and is designed to give students an understanding of what can be achieved using a multi-shaft loom, and leave with enough knowledge to continue weaving on your own (as well as your own woven samples).

Taught in small groups of up to 3 people, and using four and eight shaft table jack-looms, students will have an opportunity to explore pattern, colour and texture. Each loom is set up differently, so that a wide variety of patterns can be replicated and techniques be explored. Across the four days, when not to at their looms, the class will make a warp and dress a loom read for weaving.

As well as sampling, students will also learn about weaving notation, and at least one of the large floor looms will be available for students to try.

This is a four-day course that takes place over two full weekends (Saturday and Sunday 10am - 5pm with an hour's break for lunch).

Bespoke & Group Learning

Weaving classes tailored to suite your needs…

In addition to my beginner’s course, group classes can be arranged for parties of up to 4 people, and can be themed around making something in particular (such as a scarf or table runner, for example).  Or they can just be a fun social activity for a group of friends to enjoy while learning a new skill.

One to one learning can also be arranged for people interested in learning how I make my rugs and wallhangings, with content and the length of tuition tailored to suit individual students' needs.  

Whether you are a complete beginner or just want to brush up your skills (or learn some new ones) please don't hesitate to get in touch to ask any question your may have or to let me know what your learning needs are.
