Floor loom weaving has something for everyone! Aimed at beginners, this rug weaving course is engaging, mindful and fun. Combining mental and physical activity, you'll weave a unique rug and be amazed at what you can achieve over two short consecutive sessions.

Experienced teachers will guide you through the basics of rug weaving and our small class sizes ensure you receive individual attention. You’ll pre-select your design and colours, and get an instructional video for finishing the rug ends at home.

Recent reviews of Floor Loom Weaving Course

  • 5/5 from Nakisah Williams, attended Jun 2026: I had a wonderful time at this class! The structure of the evening sessions really worked for me, and I felt like I gained an incredible understanding of floor loom weaving. The instructions from the ExMateria team were great, and I left feeling very proud of my rug. Highly recommend!
  • 5/5 from Jennifer, attended Apr 2026: Su and Anneli were patient teachers - so passionate and experts in their field! If you’re looking for a fun day learning a new skill or for a different thing to do with friends this one-day course might be the bomb - it was for us! Thank you!!
  • 5/5 from Thaise Brower, attended Jun 2025: I can't wait to come back and do another weaving project! This definitely restarted my love for fiber arts and sparked ideas for all great things that can be woven. I would highly recommend this course to anyone and everyone!! Thanks for the fun time!
  • 5/5 from Shima, attended Sep 2023: I had a great experience weaving with Su and Anneli in their lovely studio. They are very creative. They work with different textures and materials and they bring weaving to the next level. I learned a lot from them and am looking forward to weaving with them again. I took the class over 2 days in the evening rather than in a single day on the weekend, and after a busy day at work it was a great way to wind down and relax. They supervised me every step of the way. They even let me stay longer to finish up my weaving and they didn't rush me and taught me how to complete it, even though it was an hour past the end time. The studio was very nice and clean, with relaxing music playing. The looms were in good condition and they had plenty of colours or yarn to choose from for the designs. I definitely recommend this class.
  • 5/5 from Priya Parekh, attended Jul 2023: My experience with ExMateria was terrific, to say the least. Both teachers were highly knowledgeable and went above and beyond to help me learn. Their passion for their work is clear from the moment you walk into their beautiful studio. I am extremely happy with my finished projects and hope to return to work with them in the future. Thank you Sue and Anneli!
