JO reviewed: Introduction to Off-Loom Weaving Workshop, Salisbury

"As a true newbie to the world of weaving this was the perfect introduction. Ellie was so supportive, generous, and knowledgeable. The day was filled with learning, fun, creativity, and laughter. A great way to spend a Saturday and I went home chuffed with my projects and look forward to discovering more about this ancient craft from such a wonderful teacher, Ellie."

Felicity M reviewed: Introduction to table loom weaving, Fisherton Mill, Salisbury - Two day workshop

"My daughter and I took Ellie’s 2 day table loom weaving course in December 2023. We enjoyed it very much - Ellie was extremely welcoming, and she had prepared everything perfectly. The range of yarns and patterns she had available for us to try were very inspiring and fun. Ellie is a great teacher - she demonstrated and explained all the steps we needed to do clearly, and was very patient and kind when we took a bit longer to understand! She was flexible too and allowed us each to go at our own pace, allowing us time to absorb and put what we were learning into practice. A very enjoyable course which we would definitely recommend. Thank you Ellie!"

Elka responded:

"Thank you Felicity for taking the time to leave such a lovely and detailed review! I'm so glad you both enjoyed the workshop, it was a pleasure to spend two days weaving with you. Very best wishes, Ellie "

Ginny reviewed: Introduction to table loom weaving, Fisherton Mill, Salisbury - Two day workshop

"Fabulous two day table loom workshop, from warping to cloth. A well structured two days with clear instructions, and an opportunity for each participant to go at our own pace. Ellie is very patient and has a way of keeping things simple and easy to understand, which meant the task of warping the 4 shaft loom was a calm and enjoyable experience and one that I feel confident that I could repeat independently. The class size of 3 meant we all got so much support and guidance. Once the loom was dressed, the second day was spent exploring weaving patterns. All materials were included in the course fee and we were spoilt for choice. I was delighted that beautiful naturally dyed threads were available to use as well as organic cotton and linens. I am so pleased I invested in this two days, definitely great value and a good kick start for anyone wanting to get into weaving. Thank you Ellie! "

Elka responded:

"Thank you so much Ginny for such a lovely and detailed review, and for coming. I’m delighted that you enjoyed the workshop and feel that you’ll be able to get going with weaving at home. I’m looking forward to following your weaving journey and I’m here for any questions that may arise moving forwards. "

Janette Kirman reviewed: Frame loom weaving: A comprehensive guide to becoming a weaver - a self-paced online course PLUS kit

"Really enjoying this course really good quality yarns. The videos are easy to follow and the written notes back up the video tutorials. I like that I have a course for life with all the materials available to look back on. Ellie is an excellent teacher and any questions you have she answers really quickly and she also sorted out an issue I had with one of the shuttles in a prompt and efficient way. I might have to sign up for the natural dyeing course next so I have lots of hand dyed yarns to weave with. "

Elka responded:

"Thank you Janette for the lovely review. I’m so glad you’re enjoying the course! "

Lucy reviewed: Frame loom weaving: A comprehensive guide to becoming a weaver - a self-paced online course PLUS kit

"I have thoroughly enjoyed this weaving course. It was well laid out and explained. I loved how I could switch between video learning and written intructions for when you need a second way to explain a technique. Ellie is super clear and present each element at a pace that suited my brain. I was a total beginner at the start of this course and I have been left feeling capable of working on my own projects independently. Highly recommended, I loved it. Xx"

Elka responded:

"Thank you so much Lucy! I shall thoroughly look forward to following your weaving journey Xx"

Karen Linton reviewed: Introduction to table loom weaving, Fisherton Mill, Salisbury - Two day workshop

"I had a wonderful evening with Ellie and several other people in a lovely setting where we were served green teas and raw mint cake. It was gorgeous. The class itself was excellent. We all had a great time and produced work that were all so different from each others but all really artistic and lovely to see. I loved the introduction to the art of weaving. Ellie was really attentive to each of us and a great teacher. I am really proud of what I achieved and of course purchased the loom I was using so I could do more on my own. Maybe even do a further course to improve on the skills we learned. Thank you Ellie X"
