 'Introduction to Tapestry Weaving" - Foundation Course

How to frame your tapestry 

​

Welcome to my brand new online courses.  I'm excited to bring these to you. I want to show you that you too can create your own art - as I've seen people do in my workshops with success.
 

Learn tapestry the simple way:

I cover everything you need to know to get started with tapestry in my beginner friendly course.  It is also suitable for those who wish to refresh their skills.

If you've looked at tapestry books or videos you might have felt overwhelmed with all the information out there.  You may also have taken other tapestry classes but might have struggled to follow the class - maybe designing your own cartoons (templates to work from) was too hard.  This could have put you off tapestry.  

We will start with the basics, broken down into bitesize steps, offered in my first foundation course. My weaving terminology will stay nice and simple. The filming of this course is very cosy - with close ups of my small pocket loom.  There are over 5 hours of filming and lots of written advice and PDF images to help you.  I am always on hand to help you too. 

Please note this course does not explore colour blending (yet) but only uses one strand of yarn in your colour choice, to help master your skills before advancing. We will create a lovely piece of work, together, at the end of the course.

What equipment do you need?

First I want to announce an exciting new collaboration with Mirrix looms - perfect for US clients as Mirrix is an American company.  You can purchase the Mirrix loom package (with or without the course) - right here

 

Looms:

You don't need to buy expensive equipment to get started and have some fun.  In my course I show you how you can make your own strong wooden frame loom. I also link you to tapestry needle and warp supplies.

I use a Mirrix Chloe 8" to film this course (as it's a bit bigger) but you can use the Saffron or Chloe 5” Mirrix looms too.  You can purchase Mirrix looms from Handweavers in London, or you can source your own loom - I cover all this in the course.  

​

What's next?

1 December saw me launch my very short online course all about how to frame your small tapestry.  I made this course as there is a real lack of information out there and your beautiful works of art deserve to be put on the wall! (see links at top of page)

I am also busy planning for the next phase - my monthly Membership. I want to support and encourage you onwards in your journey.  It will have a built in community so we can help each other along the way.  
I am currently building content and will start filming this very soon.  Make sure to sign up to my newsletter to be the first to hear.

 

How will the Membership differ?
We will switch to using tapestry yarn - learning all about colour blending as we go. We will delve deeper into shape making and practise more techniques in greater detail. I will create templates for you to work from - perhaps even painting landscapes, with a special focus on creating images suitable for the right ability. It will be a long term journey to go on together.  I can't wait!!
