Tapestry Weaving Workshop with Bridget Lane

Tapestry Weaving Workshop

Immerse yourself in the art of tapestry weaving during this two-day workshop. Learn fundamental tapestry techniques while exploring ways to add texture to your work.

Working on a prepared frame loom, you’ll begin with plain weave before moving on to using multiple wefts to create shapes. If you’re interested in exploring textures, you’ll be introduced to working with split and double warp settings, along with knotting, tufting and wrapping techniques to achieve a variety of effects. On a second warp, you can experiment with larger mixed-weft bundles to produce bold, textured surfaces.

There will be information on weaving design and settings, as well as how best to finish off your work and Bridget will happily share various tips and tricks to help you improve your weaving.

Tapestry weaving allows you to slow-down a little and be creative with an art form that plays with colour and design. It’s easy to continue at home once you have the fundamental skills.

This class is for beginners and improvers, as well as tapestry weavers wanting to take their weaving to the next level. Pre-warped frames and all weaving materials will be provided. If you’d like to incorporate your own threads into textural work, feel free to bring them along.

This workshop will include lunch, refreshments and a sweet treat on both days. If you’d like to escape to mid Devon for the weekend, ask us for our accommodation list.

This workshop can be paid for in two instalments – £130 now and the remaining £100 by 10th April 2026.
