Amanda reviewed: Introduction to Frame Loom Weaving

"Loved this! Alice is a great teacher, explaining as you go and suggesting different techniques to try which is exactly what I wanted as an introduction. Huge range of wools to choose from. Definitely thinking of going back for a second day."

Paula reviewed: Introduction to Frame Loom Weaving

"I spent a lovely relaxing day on this beginners' weaving course and enjoyed every minute. Alice is a great tutor who explained everything clearly and fully and was patient while I grasped the basics. The day covered everything I had wanted to learn, how to set up the loom, how to weave with different colours and patterns and how to finish the piece of work. I am now ready to practise alone but would love to do another workshop. The venue is excellent, close to public transport links in Portsmouth's Historic Dockyard. A great day, thoroughly recommended.

"What a lovely relaxing day and you lose yourself in weaving which is wonderful. Alice is a great teacher, kind and patient. She taught a variety of weave stitches and we all made beautiful weaves. Thank you Alice! "
