Recent reviews of Loom Weaving Workshop

  • 4/5 from Michelle Williams, attended Apr 2024: I really enjoyed my weaving workshop with Heather. She was clear with instructions and we all completed our weavings. It is fabulous that we get to take the loom home as it means we can do another one and become addicted to another craft :-) The only little criticism I have is I would have liked a greater range of yarn and roving colours. Also, 4 hours without a snack is a long time for me, maybe a bickie with a cuppa could be added. I would definitely recommend this workshop to beginner weavers.
  • 5/5 from Jan Orman, attended Oct 2023: Heather was personally and patient. She is clearly a multitalented artist. I’m looking forward to more learning with her.

  • 5/5 from Louise Looi, attended Oct 2022: Great course, the class size was nice and small which means we got lots of one on one help and got ask lots of questions.
