- 5/5 from Helen Feasey, attended Aug 2024: I recently attended a full-day weaving workshop, and it was an absolutely incredible experience! Sophie, our instructor was not only highly skilled but also very patient and engaging, making the entire learning process enjoyable for everyone, regardless of experience level. The workshop was well-organized, with all the materials provided and a clear, step-by-step guide through the weaving techniques. I loved the hands-on approach, which allowed me to create my own unique piece by the end of the day. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a small group size that ensured personal attention and plenty of opportunities to ask questions. I left feeling inspired and confident in my new weaving skills, and I can't wait to continue exploring this craft at home. I highly recommend this workshop to anyone interested in weaving, whether you're a complete beginner or looking to refine your skills. It’s a fantastic way to spend a day, and you’ll leave with not only a beautiful woven piece but also a deeper appreciation for the art of weaving!

Your teacher
Hi - I’m Sophie Mahir, professional semi abstract acrylic painter, originally from the UK and now happily living and creating in sunny Perth, Australia.I took up weaving as a hobby a few years ago, as I have always loved different yarns and textiles and having had my own knitting business when I was just 18. I went on to gain a Waldorf Art Teaching Diploma and taught children art and crafts for 8 years; till the desire to create my own art took over and I went full time as a professional painter and art teacher.From there I went deeper into business, qualifying as a life & business coach and trainer; specialising in women’s business start-ups and eventually setting up online as an art business coach and educator.I'm passionate about living creatively and enabling others to explore their full potential too. I believe in the power of doing something artistic not just for your own expression; but also for relaxing, mindfulness and improving your mental and physical health.
