EU Students

Welcome to my brand new school set up for EU students.  

Why did I need a new school?  The EU has different tax regulations and so my courses in this school include tax.  

​

My courses are provided via the user friendly Teachable platform and

include subtitles in your chosen language.  

​

Note: I also have a course for framing your artwork.  It will follow shortly.

​

New courses are planned for 2026.

Mirrix Looms

Let me introduce you to Katrien at Mirrix EU.  The exclusive Mirrix dealer based in Belgium.

 

Katrien and I will work closely together to help you on your journey.  We all have different tastes and budgets but we can help guide you in your choice of loom.

​

I have used Mirrix looms for many years now and they are strong and reliable.  They are my loom of choice as I like to work on a small scale.  They also travel with me.  

 

 In my classes you would want to work on an 8 dent loom. This means you select the 8 dent comb when ordering.

 We only need to work at a 5" width in my classes (as a lot of students had the Saffron loom - which is now discontinued) but you also might want to invest in an 8" loom if you plan on working on a slightly larger scale after the lessons.  Both looms are great choices.

What Students Are Saying

Liz Whiteside's Beginner Online Tapestry Classes were just what I needed to unlock my tapestry journey.  I had been taking a few online courses but it just wasn't clicking.  Liz starts from the very beginning using clear, calm and inspiring instructions.  It's like sitting with a friend who is supportively helping you understand each step.  I can easily go back to the online classes if I have forgotten a step or need to solve my error.  Now I am learning from my mistakes rather than being left in the dark.  I am looking forward to Liz's Artful Threads program, but in the meantime I am building my skills and have found the joy of learning tapestry weaving!  Thank you Liz!
