Frame Loom Workshop

Anne Halpin reviewed: Frame Loom Workshop

"A really well organised workshop. We learned to warp a small loom and then practice a range of techniques. The three hours flew past and then we got to take our loom home! We took on a lot of information so it was helpful to learn that the website has some videos to remind you. Would thoroughly recommend 😊"

"I thoroughly enjoyed my afternoon at the weaving workshop and would recommend it to any complete beginner who thinks they might fancy a go at weaving. One thing to note is that setting up the loom is obviously a big part of weaving (no loom, no weave!) but it's also time- consuming - even for an expert. For beginners, particularly if there are several students, it would be impossible to both teach the setup and do any actual weaving. I came away with a piece of fabric that I'd woven. I'd much prefer that than to have come away having set up a loom! However, Rebecca gives a very clear account of what's involved. No criticisms of the course at all."

"Had a very enjoyable and relaxing morning in Rebecca’s lovely studio learning the basics of weaving on a 8 shaft table loom. Rebecca was very patient, encouraging and knowledgeable, and although the course was only 3 hours long we seemed to cover a lot of ground, learning about the whole process and weaving a sample piece in a variety of weave structures. Nice coffee and biscuits too! I would highly recommend this course."

"I had a wonderful time at Taster of Weaving class. Rebecca is a very good instructor, very informative and creative I loved every minute of it and at the end produced a piece of woven fabric which I’m delighted with. Will certainly attend another workshop "

"I did the 2 day Intermediate Weaving Workshop with Rebecca. I had started weaving on a ridgid heddle loom in lockdown and was already addicted to weaving but being self taught was starting to get frustrated and felt ready to move up a step. I had met Rebecca at her Open house Studio back in the spring and really felt I would learn a lot from her and enjoy her company, I was not wrong ? I had already bought a Harris table loom and warping mill but had not started using them. Having spent 2 days with Rebecca I now feel I have the confidence and skills to get going with my next weaving project. Rebecca is an excellent teacher and has a relaxed, gentle way of teaching I cannot recommend her highly enough. "

"Can't recommend going and learning weaving from Rebecca enough! Her passion shines through and she is brilliant teacher explaining everything clearly and patiently going through all the processes of the different yarns and setting up the loom and the different patterns you can make until you are ready to start your own piece . The workshop is a beautiful space and the looms were set up really well it felt like you could really relax in the space and time flew by I wanted to keep going! But did come away with a gorgeous sample piece and brought a mini loom so I can carry on at home."

"Highly recommend this course to everyone! From start to finish it is such a lovely course in such a lovely studio. She makes everything look so easy but she is so good at explaining everything in different ways and easier techniques to make sure that you understand what you are doing and feel confident in what you are doing! And you leave with an amazing handbook to explain the process for you to be able to try it again at home on your own. And as soon as I got home I wanted to continue.... so have ordered some accessories already that I used at the workshop. Can't wait to get back to do another workshop! Book on! X"

"I booked this course as a total beginner, but by the time I arrived I had actually bought a rigid-heddle loom and started weaving. Rebecca teaches on shaft looms and it was intriguing to see the capabilities of these complex machines, and wonderful to have such a knowledgeable teacher to answer all my accumulated questions. Great fun and great learning. I went with a friend, which made things even more enjoyable!"

"I contacted Rebecca prior to booking as I have some additional needs. Rebecca was welcoming and friendly and I made my booking with confidence. On the day her tuition was first class; she is knowledgeable and very enthusiastic about weaving and this comes through from the moment you step into her workshop. A thoroughly enjoyable couple of hours which left me wanting to learn much more about this fascinating craft."
