Learn to weave your own fabric from scratch.

No weaving experience necessary

This comprehensive introductory course guides you in the use of a 4 shaft table loom to weave your own cloth. Enjoy the satisfaction of taking yarn right through to finished fabric. We start by learning to dress the loom and weave a small sample, then plan and produce a simple article of your own design like a scarf, cushion, bag or table runner. You will have the use of a loom to bring to and from class for the duration of the course (and some weeks after). A full set of thorough notes and all sample yarns are also provided. It’s pretty lovely!

Dates: 6 Full Saturdays, 10am - 4pm.

Plus a celebratory ‘Show & Tell gathering’ a month or so after our classes when looms are returned and finished projects celebrated! (Date to be arranged at the group’s convenience).

*NOTE: Very Flexible instalment plans are available. Mount Alexander LETS Pods are also accepted. Just email Ilka to arrange a plan that works for you :)
