We are very excited to launch our new 8 week Weaving Course using British Wools in beautiful countryside colours.
Across the 8 weeks, you will get the opportunity to use one of our traditional Floor Looms, steeped in history and used by many Weavers to create beautiful handwoven fabrics.
You will start by planning and designing your fabric - this will be a checked design and we will be planning for a shawl/wrap/blanket that will be approximately 60cm wide by 2m in length.
You will learn how to create tassels using high end finishing techniques and learn how to create a beautiful piece of heirloom fabric.
Working at your own pace, you will then wind your warp, learn how to set up the countermarch looms and then weave your length of fabric.
There is a huge sense of achievement on this course - learning how the looms operate but also seeing your very own fabric being created with your own hands.
The 8 week course is £640 for over 30 hours of tuition with Rebecca.
The course will be on a Tuesday - 9.30am-1.30pm. Start and finish dates for the courses are as follows:
All materials are included and endless amounts of Tea and Biscuits!
We suggest that students take their own notes but a booklet will also be provided by Rebecca with an overview of the course.
Available dates are shown in the online booking system below.
Please select the start date of the course - this will show as 4 hours but will automatically book you in for the eight weeks (32 hours). You will be able to complete payment on the booking system and we will send you a confirmation email with details for the course and how to find the studio.
These workshops are in set blocks of 8 dates, so choose a block to book.
