Recent reviews of Experimental Frame Loom Weaving for Beginners Class
- 5/5 from Nora, attended Jul 2026: Loved learning about tapestry weaving with Renata. We had really a nice variety of yarn to work and experiment with and the class was relaxed, fun and engaging. Would reccommend!
- 5/5 from Sarayu D Shah, attended Jul 2026: Renata was a fabulous teacher, with a wealth of experience in weaving techniques and showing how to get started from simple cardboard looms to threading up wooden looms. She was patient, inspiring and welcoming. I couldn't believe how the hours flew by and it was an extra bonus that on the day I had a one-to one with her so I was able to ask her lots of questions and get some lovely weaving practice in. I thoroughly recommend her and her workhshop was just what I was looking for. The beauty of it it is for everybody, from absolute beginners to those with more experience. Lovey experience all round.
- 5/5 from Mary Olooney, attended Feb 2026: I so enjoyed the class. Renata met me where I was in Tapestry weaving and showed me many new weaves. She was welcoming encouraging and knowledgeable.
- 5/5 from Orlanda Forrest, attended Feb 2026: Renata is a very skilled teacher and I felt supported through every step! She creates a welcoming atmosphere and I will definitely be attending again
- 5/5 from Grace O'Leary, attended Feb 2026: I had a wonderful time at Renata’s, experimental loom weaving! I got to understand about the origins and history of the process, how to weave in a way that I can carry the process home utilise materials and objects I may have on hand! I throughly enjoyed this day and would highly recommend if looking to try something different. Renata has such a fun and calming presence
- 5/5 from Adriana, attended Feb 2026: I have never done any textiles and had a great introduction to tapestry in this workshop. Teacher was calm, friendly and resourceful and the venue is also very cool! My experience was wonderful. Would reccomend.
- 5/5 from Norah, attended Feb 2026: I am so happy I took this tapestry weaving class. The teacher was very open, fun and kind and we had a great varierty of materials to work with. At first I thought the class was going to be way too long, but actually time flyes when you’re in weaving mode! Thanks so much, Renata!
Your teacher
I'm a visual artist and arts educator working with natural colour, textiles, clay, seeds, and flowers I gather myself. Since 2018, I've been designing and leading sustainable, hands-on workshops and mindful sessions for all kinds of groups: corporate teams looking for something genuinely different and engaging, hen parties wanting a fun creative afternoon, and people who just love making things and learning about plant dyes and fibres.My sessions are grounded in mental health and well-being. I create spaces for play, fun and connection, where there's no right or wrong, just the pleasure of making something with your hands that you can take home at the end of the workshop.Based in Wapping, I'm also happy to travel to your venue. Available for private bookings, team-building events, hen dos, and more.
