Introduction to Weaving

1 x 4hr Session

From £65.00

Class Length: 4 hours (morning classes span 4.5 hours as they include a lunch break*)
Number in Class: 7
Entry Level: No experience necessary - these classes are suitable for complete beginners.
Materials: Loom included yarn not included. See below.
Tutor: Jemma Dell

Weaving is becoming increasingly popular because it is a wonderful way to get creative with colour and texture. Weaving can be used to create wall-hangings, bags, cushions and more.

In this beginners’ weaving class we will use a simple tapestry loom. You will find out how to: warp the loom; start and end each weft; create a basic tabby weave; make rya knots** and loops. We will go on to look at other ways to create textures using a variety of yarns and weaving techniques depending on time and the interests of the group.

The loom will be yours to keep so that you can continue your weaving project at home after the class.

Current Class Dates:
Wednesday 20th August, 10am - 2.30pm with half an hours break for lunch

Discount for Class Attendees
On the day of your class please make sure you leave time after your morning class, or before your afternoon class to browse our shop. Class attendees get 10% of purchases* in the shop on the day of their class. *Excludes Gift Vouchers, Sewing Machines & Classes

All our classes are non-refundable and non-transferable. We urge you to carefully check your diary prior to booking to ensure that you can attend. We also need three students enrolled on the class otherwise it is subject to cancellation. By purchasing this class you are agreeing to our full class policy.

Class Materials and Equipment
Loom: The loom, weaving tools and warp thread will be supplied.
Yarn: Students will need to bring (or buy on the day) a variety of yarns in the colours of your choice. Thicker yarns are better. It is also great to use materials such as lengths of fabric rags or roving and textured yarns like boucle or chenille.

* Please bring a packed lunch or you can buy a sandwich from The Larder, the deli onsite at Burwash

** Rya Knots are what you most often find at the bottom of a weave to create a fringe. However, the rya knot can be placed where ever to create a more unique and interesting composition. These knots are also used when making a shaggy carpet texture, because the knot holds the thread ends in place.
