Testimonial

“Just completed this very informative and constructive 2-day intensive 8 shaft table loom weaving course. Would highly recommend this to anyone who is a total novice in weaving, like me or someone who has some weaving experience looking to advance onto a shaft loom.”

Sian, Wales

“Brilliant weekend course with an expert teacher who understands what beginners need. Pamela shares her skills, experience and passion for weaving, and has a real gift for teaching as well as being an all-round lovely person. Recommended.”

Robert, Manningtree

“The beginner’s intensive table loom course is a wonderful first step into loom work. I knew next to nothing when entering and Pamela guided me/us through all the steps to thread the loom and offered advice on techniques, ideas and colours as we went. With a small class it really is almost a one to one lesson. It really was a wonderful way to spend a weekend. I would thoroughly recommend. “

Karen, Essex
