A rigid heddle loom and all weaving tools required for learning to weave the samples studied. See notes for Weaving Hardware Package.
A take-home workbook to record your sampling and fibres and patterns.
Your supply of cotton yarn for sampling and final garment. You may find extra time to weave at home. Yarn is supplied specifically for the items you are learning during the course.

The course cost includes hire of a rigid heddle loom and the corresponding equipment and tools for weaving your samples. You’ll receive your package on the first session and return it at the end of the last session.
Continued hire may be pre-arranged and is based on availablity.
We operate on the basis of good old-fashioned trust that the loom and all parts will be returned clean and in the condition they were received. Any lost items or damage will incur replacement costs, including delivery fees from our New Zealand supplier. Around 400$.

You will learn to weave a simple weave structure and then how to make variations to make it more interesting. Weaving is a slow meditative process that needs time to experiment and enjoy. We will make two useful items however, everyone learns and weaves at a different pace. Ideally you’ll walk away with some towelling and scarf. The focus here is about understanding good foundation techniques.
-
Please bring a tape measure, small scissors and a tapestry needle. Also bring yourself a snack if needed.
Yarn and the relevant tools are included in the cost of the course. If you would like to weave additional items while you have access to a loom you’re welcome to however, extra yarn can be purchased separately.
