"Ashleigh is a great, steady tutor, really helpful and we covered a lot of ground in one day. I had a little experience picked up form books and the course has given me greater confidence to explore techniques and re-inspired me about the infinite possibilities of weaving and finding the way to techniques that suit what I hope to do the best"

Tartan Caledonia responded:

"Glad the course inspired you to start weaving again enjoy your loom and don’t be shy just shout if you need help."

Heather reviewed: Weaving: the journey begins

"Excellent teaching from a recognised expert with first rate equipment and materials! I can spin, but was wholly unfamiiar with looms and weaving and hoped to discover whether this was something I could do. The craft was clearly explained and demonstrated and I was able to explore all the techniques & try them out. I left with the knowledge I needed and access to reading and future advice. I would recommend this course to anyone considering weaving or new to it."

Shona Robertson reviewed: Weaving: the journey begins

"I had a brilliant day with Ashleigh. On arrival I explained that I was hard of hearing and I found Ashleigh immediately took care to ensure that I didn't struggle with this throughout the day which put me at complete ease. The pace of teaching was good and the explanations were clear and concise. It was really helpful to see some woven cloth on the practice loom to get a better idea of the patterns. A very welcoming studio with excellent facilities. I thoroughly enjoyed my day and back home now to finish setting up my own new loom to continue on my weaving journey"
