Beginner Frame Loom Workshop

The practical one. Warp a loom, learn four stitches, and go home able to do it again on your own.

A little about the experience.

This is the workshop to book if you want to actually learn to weave rather than to use weaving as a way to slow down — although that tends to happen anyway.

You will warp a frame loom from scratch, learn plain weave, rya knots, soumak and how to finish an edge, and leave with your own small piece and a loom you can keep using.

No experience assumed. If you have woven before, you will still find the pace comfortable rather than slow.

What would be provided

  • A frame loom to keep
  • Warp thread and a starter set of fibres
  • Weaving needle, comb and shed stick
  • Written notes to take home
  • Tea and something to eat

You might bring

  • Nothing — everything is provided
