Mike and Jayne reviewed: Morning Creative Weaving 2 hour Taster Workshop - flexible timing

"Excellent session. Learnt a lot from Ruth. A great creative experience. A short explanation on the loom, quick demo and then straight on with it. Had no previous experience but Ruth explained everything very well. As a bonus ended up with a good sized piece of fabric that I am quite proud of. Would strongly recommend even if you never go on to take up weaving. We will be back to Ruth in the Autumn for follow on sessions to learn more."

Illuminating Weaves responded:

"Thank you Mike and Jayne, look forward to having you back at the studio sometime. 😀"

The studio was lovely and the whole process was really calming and meditative. I loved it and would highly recommend this workshop. "
