Recent reviews of Weaving from a Pattern Workshop

  • 5/5 from Jane Zonnenberg, attended Mar 2026: A lovely introduction to weaving. Annabel's explanations were very clear and her enthusiasm for weaving showed. There was a wide range of patterns to choose from and we got to keep our makes, along with a table loom and accessories. It's a rewarding craft and I would definitely recommend this class to anyone wanting a friendly and informative introduction to weaving.
  • 5/5 from Rachael Giles, attended Dec 2024: We loved this weaving class with Annabel! She was a great host and very knowledgeable teacher. The atmosphere was lovely and the class was laid-back and well-paced. I loved all the patterns she has available and am excited to try more!

Hello, I'm Annabel!
I am a weaver and I love to share the knowledge that I have with all you creatives!
I have just finished my degree in woven textiles where my final major project was centred around minibeasts and surrounding children with more imagery of their local wildlife to further support their ongoing learning.
