I thoroughly enjoyed this workshop and learnt so much, Dee is a excellent teacher and I now feel confident to use my inkle loom and make items that I will be pleased with.

This is a great course to go on if you’ve never done any inkle weaving before or if you’ve had a play but not sure if you’re doing it right. Dee is a great tutor with plenty of information and experience that just builds your confidence not only to make bands but to see what you can potentially make from them. I liked the person to person tutoring as there’s plenty of tips and tricks to improve your weaving. I have since gone on to produce a lovely even band that I’m proud of and I’m now experimenting on trying Baltic pick up weave. Give it a try. You won’t be disappointed and will probably go away with loads of ideas to keep you going for a long time. Absolutely brilliant ☺️

Had a wonderful day with Dee who is a knowledgeable, very practical tutor. I loved the way she thought my mistakes were a great thing because she could show us the way to easily solve them. Enthusiastic now to get a small loom & some of the books she had out. There was a great table of samples of different styles, patterns & methods. We were encouraged to try out the various options. Thanks
