Workshops & Classes

Welcome to the start of your weaving journey! The practical skill of weaving is both rewarding and useful, allowing you to produce unique, handcrafted items and providing a sense of accomplishment and enjoyment.

At the end of this course, you will be able to warp up a rigid heddle loom and weave a scarf — including how to start and end a piece of weaving and how to finish off for best results.

• Brief look at the parts and terminology of a rigid heddle loom and the types of weaving it can produce
• Demonstration of how to warp up a rigid heddle loom
• Warping up your assigned rigid heddle loom, including colour change
• Process of starting off the weaving
• Weaving a scarf, keeping to your pattern
• Process of taking weaving off the loom
• Ways of securing ends and finishing off weaving
• Pathways to continue your weaving journey

• If you want a particular look for your scarf, bring 3–4 balls of 50gm yarn in your preferred colours — wool or acrylic 8ply works best. We also have various yarns available for your use.
• Tapestry needle (we can supply one if you don't have one)
• Scissors
• Notebook if you wish to take notes
