I had an amazing weaving lesson when in London for London Craft Week. I learned not only great weaving techniques in a 2.5 hour lesson, but also learned about the creative philosophy of the SAORI weaving craft! I wove a pillow cover and it is gorgeous! There is a calm about the studio and the teaching + more

Erica Fernando

I was the only student on the date that I picked so basically had a 1 to 1. The teacher was patient and helped me loads to pick up the basics of spinning. It's quite difficult to coordinate all the motions but I came away with a decent looking hank of hand spun yarn, and even had time at the end to have + more

A wonderful way to spend a Friday afternoon. Janine, our tutor. was very helpful and provided an easy reassuring environment to experiment with different threads and weave them into our cushion design. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and I have come away with a unique and beautiful product.

Had a fabulous afternoon with a group of friends making pillows. The atmosphere is relaxed while learning everything you need to know to create a unique item to take home.

An escapist 3 hours guided with the best tuition.. and a bespoke cushion as a result for life!! I even got to free weave and up cycle some jute from + more

Imke Himstedt

We've had a lovely afternoon weaving fabric for a cushion. It's very rewarding choosing yarns and getting the cloth done in time to take a stuffed cushion home - all in one sitting. This was such a refreshing way to celebrate a birthday with friends. Janine and Steve were the perfect hosts.

Deborah Allen

a really enjoyable few hours of weaving, and managed to complete the cushion cover project. Very relaxed place, lots of help when needed. Lots of encouragement. Definitely an esteem booster when you can make something significant in an afternoon.

Sarah

Such fun. Very absorbing. Created something I’m really proud of. Tutors very supportive. Definitely be back for more.

Marta Glyn-Blanco

Such a fun workshop! I went with my mum and we both came out so inspired and satisfied with our cushions that we got to take home.

I loved this class. It was well taught and we were really supported. The wool selection was superb and the atmosphere calm. We could choose whatever colours we wanted and were encouraged to be as creative as we did or didn't want. I'll definitely be going back. Thank you!

Deborah J Shrubb

Attended an intro to weaving session. I particularly wanted to try the floor looms as I just have rigid heddle looms at home. The session gave me a good insight into the potential of this sort of loom. The instruction and support was pitched just right and I loved the choice of yarn available to experiment + more

Shivani Gupta

What a lovely way to spend a few hours. It's so relaxing and as the classes are very small you get proper hands on support from Jeanine. I'm so pleased with my first attempt at weaving. Will definitely be going back for more!

Alex McHallam

I really enjoyed this workshop. I found it challenging, which is a good thing. I learnt how to create an integrated 3D weave. The selection of materials is great and the teacher was really thoughtful in her approach, giving me clear instructions.

Sarah Joseph

My third visit to the studio courtesy of a generous christmas present from my brother. I started a new project using the beautiful handspun wool supplied by Janine. Where else can you choose from any colour or texture that your heart desires and weave what's inside your head in to reality? cant wait + more
