Learn and Develop Tapestry Weaving
Learn the art of tapestry weaving in a relaxed, creative environment. Whether you are wanting to learn the basics and weaving for the first time or already have weaving skills and are looking to refine your technique, these intimate sessions offer the space, tools, and expertise to help your creativity flourish. Held in Letchworth Garden City, these workshops are flexible, inclusive, and tailored to your individual pace.
Small Group Sessions: Connect with like-minded creatives in groups of no more than four.
One-to-One Tuition: Perfect for those who prefer individualised attention to tackle complex projects or specific technical challenges.
Session Times & Flexibility
These sessions run on a monthly or fortnightly basis. You can also book individual ad-hoc sessions based on availability:
- Mondays: 10:00 am – 12:00 pm | 1:30 pm – 3:30 pm
- Fridays: 1:30 pm – 3:30 pm
What to Expect
From the basics of warping up to advanced textural techniques, we can cover:
- Learn the basics: Perfect for beginners wanting a solid start. (See my Tapestry Sampler and Taste of Tapestry workshops to give an idea of where we start.)
- Technical Development: Exploring developing your tapestry weaving skills and knowledge, maybe you want to learn colour blending, or creating shaped tapestries.
- Project Guidance: Bring your own ideas and get professional support to see them through from start to finish.
Equipment & Materials
- Hire and buy from me: Don’t have a loom and fibre stash? I have frame looms available to use during the session or hire if you wish to continue weaving at home. I have a large selection of warp yarns, wools and fibres you can buy from me for your project. You will only pay for the fibres you use eliminating waste and unnecessary surplus yarns cluttering your home.
- Bring Your Own: You are more than welcome to bring your own frame loom and fibres to work with.
- Inspiration: Feel free to bring sketches or photos and ideas if you’d like help developing a specific design.

I am a tapestry weaver and educator dedicated to sharing the tactile, meditative art of weaving. With a focus on small-group tuition and one-to-one mentoring, I help weavers of all levels find their creative confidence.
I believe that everyone has a unique creative voice. Whether I’m helping you warp your first loom or guiding you through a complex design, my approach is always patient and tailored to you. I provide a relaxed space where you can slow down, explore new ideas, and transform your inspiration into woven wonderfulness.
