17 Jun BEGINNERS Course – 3, 4, 5 & 9, 10, 11 – October 2026
Course Cost: The cost of a 6 day beginner’s course is £350.00, which includes the use of Workshop equipment and the cost of all yarns used.
Our beginners’ courses run three times a year – spring, summer and autumn – usually with a maximum of 8 students on each course. The courses are taught by experienced handweavers supported by a team of experienced weaving assistants in our well-equipped Workshop, close to Ashprington, near Totnes, Devon.
Classes are small and based on practical learning. Beginners are taught all stages of setting up a loom and over the 6 day course you will learn to wind a warp and put it onto a Louët table loom. Then you will weave a series of different weave structures as a sample and then a scarf, using a lovely Knoll merino lambswool yarn. At the end of the course, you will have your handwoven samples and scarf, plus a set of comprehensive course notes to take home for future reference.
After completing a beginners’ course, students have the opportunity to join the Workshop as an associate member, giving them full use of the Workshop, its looms and equipment with free guidance from experienced weavers available.
