“Spent a lovely day weaving! A good combination of hands-on and theory. Charlotte was lovely and welcoming and shared her weaving expertise in a way that was easy to follow and completely fascinating. The studio was cosy and warm and full of looms and yarn and mince pies and tea and coffee and good cheer. A gorgeous way to spend a Saturday in December!”

“Very nice introduction to weaving on an 8 shaft loom. No set up included so it’s a nice way to get a sense of what weaving on a table loom is like. Plenty of different types of thread provided to test out, too.”

“It was a privilege to be introduced to weaving by Charlotte. She has deep knowledge and expertise, developed over a lifetime of practice, and she genuinely enjoys introducing new people to her craft. I had never touched a loom before, but felt very welcome. I got to ask every question under the sun, and came away having learned so much. Thank you!”
