Learn to Weave is a 2-day beginners handloom workshop for those who wish to get started in the craft of weaving, including how to set up a handloom. It is also suitable for anyone returning to weaving who wants a refresher.
You will weave samples on two types of 8 shaft table looms pre-warped in different materials, selecting your choice of weft and colour. With the help of your experienced tutor, you will also make a warp and learn how to put it on a loom.
