Join Corrin for an enjoyable crash course in weaving cloth on a rigid heddle loom. No experience necessary!
Set your phone aside and sink into the joy of making. Weaving can be complex, but in this short session, you'll get the satisfaction of creating something unique without getting lost in the technical stuff.
Just show up, enjoy the process, and walk away with a handwoven pouch—practical, personal, and made entirely by you.
This session includes:
  • A warped up, prepared loom for you to hop straight on and start weaving
  • Instructions to follow
  • A small class for more one-on-one support
  • A Sewing Fairy to transform your woven piece into a pouch.
In this class you’ll weave a length of cloth and cut it off the loom. Corrin will be ready with a machine to sew up the sides, add a zip and you can attach your tassel. Voila!

In the unlikely event that we don't reach this number, we may cancel the session; if that happens, we'll inform you and let you choose between a refund or reschedule, so please watch your email/SMS one day prior to the class.

All the things necessary to complete the workshop are supplied. The session runs for 3 hours, bring a snack and water if you like.
What if I don't finish my piece in time?

It was love at first sight the day I stepped into the textiles studio at uni, and since then, I never really stopped weaving. I weave using natural fibers to create bold, rhythmic flow through repetition and texture.
Actively involved in local arts and sustainability communities, I aim to slow life down, staying grounded in a mindful, contemplative approach to my work.
“Each piece of fabric tells a story, starting with every yarn that passes through my fingers and is threaded onto a loom to create cloth. I embrace modern and traditional techniques to craft cloth with purpose.”
I’m committed to preserving lost trades, fostering individuality, and inspiring cultural change while resisting mass consumerism.
I teach the art of creating pieces using natural and upcycled fibers, emphasizing environmentally respectful practices in every work.
Through my practice and teaching, I strive to inspire learners to think critically, honor traditional skills, and create with intention. Rooted in the traditions of handmade cultures and the enduring value of hand skills, my work promotes mindfulness, sustainability, community, and lifelong learning.
