    Missing or damaged items may result in some seriously bad karma—and a replacement fee of up to $400, which covers the full kit and express shipping to keep things running smoothly for the next student, just like they did for you.

  • You will try out all sorts of new weaving techniques. Weaving is a slow meditative process that needs time to learn, experiment and enjoy. We will be weaving samples only. The focus here is about having fun, trying out new techniques and learning the skills required for you to play on your loom at home.

  • A rigid heddle loom is required for this course. If you need one please add a Loom + Tool Package for hire to your cart.

    Please bring water and a snack if needed. Yarn required to make your samples are not included in the cost of the course. You can purchase supplies required during the course, but please ring me and let’s chat about your needs first.

  • Yes!

    Looms come in all shapes and sizes and this depends on size and the different equipment needed to warp up. There’s some set up variations but possibly can be a workaround.
