Recent reviews of Weaving Cushion Workshop

• 5/5 from Melanie Rose, attended Oct 2026: I had such a wonderful afternoon. There was a great selection of wools and textured fabrics to weave with and lots of support from the whole team to ensure complete my cushion.
• 5/5 from Debbie Bentley, attended Oct 2026: First time weaving and loved it. The teacher was so supportive and gave me all the time I needed to complete my cushion. Such a great workshop and the studio was bright and welcoming. Thank you Freeweaver Team
• 5/5 from Kavita Savur, attended Oct 2026: We had a wonderful time at the workshop! Janine and Steve were very helpful and gave us excellent instructions as well as helping us along the way. It was very satisfying being able to weave our own cushions, choosing the colours, textures and designs we wanted. Having a private class was a real bonus. Thank you so much!
• 5/5 from Vivian, attended Aug 2026: Bright, airy studio tucked away in the heart of Greenwich. The most amazing wall of wool choices - whatever your heart desires for your project. Gentle instruction, encouragement and a surprisingly quick start to weaving - it’s easy to get going! I did my best to embrace the freestyle weaving philosophy even though I often crave a plan and some symmetry. A very freeing experience and a step away from the every-day. Definitely an addictive craft, I am already pondering my next creation. I really loved this experience, highly recommend!
• 5/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Aug 2026: Enjoyed a lovely afternoon learning a new skill - much easier than expected under expert eye and tutelage of teachers, in a bright studio with a small group of new starters, alongside experienced weavers working on larger projects. Am very happy with my cushion cover and I’ve caught the bug - will go back for more!
• 5/5 from Ruth Harrison, attended Aug 2026: This was a birthday gift and I really loved it. Studio was lovely with several other weavers of varying levels working on projects and learners like me. All the teachers were great. It was very easy to get started and a very mindful way of spending an afternoon.
• 5/5 from Kim Gan, attended Aug 2026: Janine and Steve were amazing teachers, very clear instructions and patient. Helped us to understand what we needed to do quickly and answered all our questions. Very welcoming and calming space!
• 5/5 from Luke Alcott, attended Aug 2026: The teacher was very helpful and got us well set up so that we quickly felt we understood the weaving really well. They were very supportive whenever we needed help while also giving us plenty of space to work creatively.
• 5/5 from Beatriz Crespo Gambade, attended Aug 2026: It was such a delightful experience to learn how to weave in this japanese looms. The area is bery interesting as well as the stufio. I never have wowen in this kind of looms and i was a bit anxious at first. But the guiding was perfect and soon i found myself on the flow, weaving hapilly. It is something between meditation and creativity feast. Every material or thing you might need is at your disposal. It was great sharing this experience with other people. At the end of the workshop when i saw my final work i was hapilly surprised to see how beautiful my piece was. I recomend this workshop for whoever is reading this lines. Im definitely going to come back to learn further.
• 5/5 from Kali Yau, attended Jul 2026: I enjoyed my first weaving cushion workshop so much a few weeks ago, that I booked and came for a second workshop today! I am very happy with the cushion I made this afternoon. Many thanks Janine for being a really kind and patient teacher, as well as giving me some really helpful tips and advice on the yarns and fabrics that I could use to weave the fabric for my cushion. Freeweaver Studio have just moved to a new studio in Greenwich which was light, airy and felt so relaxed (5 minutes walk from Maze Hill station or a 10 minute walk from Greenwich station). Would totally recommend this workshop to people- switch off for a few hours, learn a new skill and make something beautiful to take home!!
• 5/5 from Jayanthiny Kangatharan, attended Jul 2026: It was great creative fun and I very much enjoyed creating a colourful cushion under the careful guidance of my teachers. Highly Recommend!
• 5/5 from Caroline Evans, attended Jul 2026: This was a lovely experience. Janine and Steve so generous and supportive, guiding me, as a first time weaver, in technique, design and also the safe use of the looms. The studio is light and airy and the equipment beautifully crafted. And, at the end, I had a cushion to show for my efforts! Wonderful
• 5/5 from Cameron Macleod, attended Jul 2026: Great fun! Janine was a great teacher and we ended up with a surprisingly polished result at the end. Perfect length for an intro with a warm welcome to come back if you choose.

• 5/5 from Alex, attended Jun 2026: Loved this so so much! It was my first time using a floor loom and Steve made sure everything was set up for me, walked me through the different steps, and was on hand if I had any questions. The other weavers that were there were all very friendly and lovely, as was Erna who helped stitch my finished product up to transform it into a cushion. The studio is beautiful, equipped with any yarn colour you're after - will definitely be returning to Freeweaver Studio to make use of their 'independent weaving session' option!
• 5/5 from Raymond Yiu, attended Jun 2026: Absolutely brilliant! It can be a calming few hours, or if you so wish to, let your creative juice flowing and bold with the colours! An afternoon well speant, and the cushion that I made is sitting beautifully on the sofa now!
• 5/5 from Stacy Aspden, attended Jun 2026: From the warm welcome, relaxed setting and fabulous selection of colours and textures, the time spent learning and creating was excellent. Thank you again. Individual guidance given, but once started there was no stopping us. freedom to be creative appreciated but with experienced input to assist as needed once started. By the end of the session I had a cushion that I was really proud of. Looking forward to coming back.

• 5/5 from Imke Himstedt, attended Feb 2026: We've had a lovely afternoon weaving fabric for a cushion.

Janine and Steve were the perfect hosts.
