Beginner's Weaving Course

This course is aimed at those who are complete beginners or for those who may have some experience weaving on a peg loom or rigid heddle loom but are keen to develop their skills.

Our vintage dobby looms will be set up and warped in the Weaving Shed, giving more time to concentrate on weaving.

For the first sessions you will rotate around the looms, exploring different weave structures whilst learning about your loom. The final session will be dedicated to weaving your own final project, this could be a table runner or cushion cover for example.
