6 hours Class size 1 to 3 guests       £145

Experience the magic of hand weaving in this immersive London workshop! Relax into the mesmerising and calming world of table loom weaving as you're guided by a friendly and talented teacher.
This beginner weaving class has pre-prepared looms provided, so you can dive straight into the captivating world of textile art. In this enriching day of fabric creation, you'll explore basic weave structures like plain weave and twill and how to combine them to make different patterns. You'll also experiment with yarn selection and combinations to achieve varied textures and effects.
Once your colourful day of weaving is over, you'll have plenty of new knowledge to take away with you about woven fabric creation as well as a handout to remind you of the day's learning. Plus, you'll have your handmade piece to use as a table runner or charming wall hanging!
We know crafting is hungry work so there's a 30-40 minute lunch break included (extendable upon request). While lunch isn't catered, an array of cafes and sandwich shops can be found nearby.
**Half the proceeds of this workshop will be donated to the Queen Elizabeth Scholarship Trust, a charitable organization that funds and champions UK craftspeople

Recent reviews of Introduction to Weaving Workshop

  • 5/5 from Beata Lewandowska, attended Feb 2026: I recently attended a one-day weaving workshop with Kendall Clarke and it was an absolutely fantastic experience. In just a few hours, I learned so much about the basics of weaving, enough to completely spark my curiosity and make me want to explore it further. Kendall is a truly exceptional teacher: knowledgeable, calm, and incredibly skilled at simplifying what initially feels complicated. Beyond her teaching skills, she is a very talented artist whose passion and creativity are genuinely inspiring. There were only two of us in the workshop, both complete beginners, and Kendall stayed with us throughout the full six hours, carefully guiding and monitoring our progress. Her patience, encouragement, and thoughtful feedback made the entire day both productive and deeply enjoyable. It was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Thank you, Kendall, for your generosity, guidance, and inspiration. Highly recommended.
  • 5/5 from Efrosini Drimoussis, attended Feb 2026: Excellent introduction to weaving, including colour combining, a few foundational patterns, and a view to the seemingly endless variations and opportunities. Kendall was both an inspiration (love her own work) and patient guide for newbies. Highly recommend.
