Kathy reviewed: Introduction to creative floorloom weaving

"I arrived a little anxious because I'm the kinda person who follows patterns (and only then adds a personal touch) but I left feeling inspired and liberated by the freedom of Saori weaving, the joy of playing with and exploring colours and textures I don't usually go to and knowing that whatever I created it would be just fine . Janine gently guides, suggests and encourages. Was a truly wonderful afternoon."

"Janine is very helpful and facilitates a positive environment for you to create a masterpiece. Saori is so satisfying and you will be impressed with what you can make in 4 hours. I will certainly do this again :)"

Angela reviewed: Introduction to creative floorloom weaving

"It was a fun and relaxing afternoon, learning, weaving and creating. Janine was very friendly and amazing to chat with. She showed me some basic techniques with examples, and let me get on with the loom with occasional encouragement and suggestions. It's all very informal and flexible. Time passed so quickly that 4 hours just flew by. Now I must find time to come back!"

Freeweaver Studio London responded:

"Thank you very much Angela"

"A good introduction to Saori weaving. A thoroughly enjoyable and informative taster class, well worth attending, so much so I have purchased a loom."

Lorraine England reviewed: Introduction to creative floorloom weaving

"Lovely relaxed studio which showcased the Saori looms well. Enjoyed the “taster” workshop and Janine’s relaxed/informative style of teaching. I would have liked the opportunity to have spent longer at the loom."
