Tapestry for Beginners

"I remember when I was about 12 years old, going to Art Camp and learning to weave for the first time.  I loved it!  The different textures of the yarns and the colours made the wall piece come to life.  I am so happy to introduce weaving as a Circle to enjoy in your neighbourhood!" - Denise Fraser

Loom Studio offers beginners an introduction to weaving.  Frame loom weaving is a great way to start if you’re curious to try it out to see if you like the craft.

• The frames are easy to set up and generally portable in size.
• The complete kits to get you started are affordable and you can add more tools and accessories along the way.
• A great option for kids ages 5+.
• The project sizes are limited to the size of the frame.
• The loom will not weave complex patterns on its own as it is a manual weaving only loom.

Choose from 2 beginner weaving workshops:

1. Intro to Tapestry:  A thorough course that teaches you the fundamentals for weaving tapestry on our stand looms. If you are weaving for the first time, you will leave with a good set of basic skills to start your weaving journey confidently.
