Ruth Burdett reviewed: An Introduction to Weaving with a Table Loom, Oxford

"As a taster day to give an insight into the craft of weaving, this was excellent. Jeremy has clearly put a lot of thought into his approach, and had 2 (socially distanced) looms - one for each of us - set up in a large room. The looms were warped up in such a way as to let us see the effect both of very simple patterns and of more-complex designs. He explained enough of the theory to give an insight into the possible levels of complexity without frying our brains, and also showed us lots of different samples of work to stimulate our interest and enthusiasm. By the end of the day, we had each woven a lovely sampler to take away - as a momento of the course and a reference for future work."

Perusha Moodley reviewed: An Introduction to Weaving with a Table Loom, Oxford

"I wanted an idea of how easy it was to get started with weaving, what quality of fabric could be produced by a novice and whether it was something I would enjoy at all. This taster day was perfect for that. Everything was set up for us (in a lovely setting) so we could just weave. We first learnt the mechanisms behind the patterns which we were then able to see in action immediately. Jeremy welcomed us into his home, plied us with a constant stream of tea and biscuits and answered all our questions about weaving, both as an activity and as an art form. He showed us lots of demonstration pieces and explained how they were created. I found it quite therapeutic with a lot of scope for creativity and can easily see it turning into a long term hobby. We would both recommend Jeremy's course either as a one off taster or an introduction into the world of weaving!"

"I attended this weaving workshop with a friend - we had a great day learning how to weave and how to read patterns. We were delighted with the samplers we made. We were shown many amazing samplers and items made by the tutor. Can’t wait to get going with more weaving!"

"I spent a lovely day understanding weaving diagrams, looking at samples, and best of all, weaving my own sampler, with the understanding to explain it to my husband when I got home."
