What You'll Need
A Tapestry Frame Loom - I recommend a 16” x 20” or 18” x 20” tapestry frame. But students can use a smaller or larger frame, or a completely different loom! The course can be adapted to whatever you have to hand.
Warp Yarn - All the tapestry samples are woven on a 1mm thick cotton cord, which is 24 WPI. You will need approximately 500g for the course.
Weft Yarn - I am using DK and Aran weight rug yarn. You will need approximately 500g of weft yarn for the course.
Weaving Tools - a shed stick, shuttles, a bobbin, a comb, a tapestry needle and sharp scissors.
Frequently Asked Questions
I've never woven before. Is this course suitable for me?
Yes! This course is designed for beginners and experienced weavers alike.
Are there live elements to the course?
No, all elements of the course are pre-recorded so you can watch them at any time.
Modules become available once a week at 9am BST - but you don't have to watch them straight away!
How is this course different to your Rug Weaving courses?
My rug weaving courses focus on weaving functional textiles to withstand daily use. We’ll work on a larger scale and with less precision.
This course focuses on geometric images and how to capture them exactly in tapestry. The image is the focus, rather than the function.
Can I use a different loom for this course?
I am using a 16” x 20” tapestry frame throughout this course but the techniques I demonstrate can be recreated on any loom.
However you will need a loom that can maintain a good tension and weave at a sett of 6epi and 8epi.
Can I download the modules?
Each module comes with a downloadable PDF workbook, so you can have step-by-step instructions and notes to hand while weaving. However, the videos themselves cannot be downloaded. Our videos are hosted on a platform similar to Youtube - if your internet connection is not strong enough to watch Youtube, it will not be strong enough for this course. Please check this before you sign up!
