Ally Oliver reviewed: SAORI Weaving Discovery Session

"I thoroughly enjoyed the SAORI Weaving Discovery Session. Nicola introduced us to a good variety of weaving threads and looms, then guided us beautifully through this freestyle approach to weaving. I loved the ease and freedom of weaving in this more intuitive way, and the fact that so-called 'mistakes' can become creations. It was fascinating to see the emergence of such different weaves appearing on the looms of each individual as well as the potentials of what objects of art they could become ... all as unique expressions of creativity!"

"I had a very enjoyable session 1 to 1 with Nicola. Knowing I had a rigid heddle loom, she shared techniques that I could use at home. I came away with a sampler that showed all these techniques and a plan to take what I learned further. I’d highly recommend this course"

Marion reviewed: SAORI Weaving Discovery Session

"Highly recommended! A really enjoyable evening in a very relaxed and friendly environment. There was plenty of easy to follow instruction with helpful suggestions of things to try and to experiment with. It was also good to be left to my own devices to 'do my own thing' whilst knowing I could ask anything at any point. It's also very reasonably priced. "
