Whether you're curious about weaving or already own a rigid-heddle loom and want to learn how to use it, this comprehensive weekend course is the perfect starting point. Across two full-day sessions, you'll be guided through the fundamentals of Rigid Heddle Loom weaving, building confidence and hands-on experience from the ground up.
The workshop includes use of one of our Ashford Knitters Looms, however if you own your own loom, you are very welcome to bring that along to the workshop to use if you prefer.
Led by Julie Cowan, Truro Wool's expert tutor and experienced weaver, you’ll be creating beautiful pieces of fabric from your very first session.
