FAQs
Do I need any prior experience?
1
No, but it’s super helpful that you come with a curious and patient attitude.
The looms will be set up with the warp already prepared (that’s the hard bit) and then your teen can start weaving (which is the easier part) after watching all the instructions. The classes are small so there’s lots of support if needed.
What if I don't finish weaving my piece by the end of the workshop?
2
You’ll definitely finish your piece by the end. If there’s no time for sewing, you can take home your woven cloth and make something from it yourself, or leave it with the teacher and they can sew it later and drop it off another time.
What if my teen gets bored?

We’ve designed this workshop to be engaging, hands-on, and fun. Teens get to choose their own colours, work on a loom, and create a one-of-a-kind piece that’s quickly transformed into a finished pouch. The small group setting means they’ll be surrounded by others enjoying themselves, and there’s always support and encouragement along the way.
Of course, every teen is different — if your child really doesn’t want to continue, they’re welcome to step away. But in our experience, once they see their weaving come together, most are hooked and excited to finish.
