Learn Tapestry Weaving Online
From Anywhere in the World

Discover the joy of tapestry weaving with my step-by-step online classes, designed for beginners and more advanced weavers alike. Whether you're working on a pocket loom or making your own simple wooden frame loom, you'll learn how to create beautiful, small-scale tapestries from the comfort of your own home.

My online classes are hosted on the Teachable platform, making them easy to access and enjoy at your own pace. Each lesson is delivered through YouTube within Teachable, giving you lifetime access so you can revisit the videos whenever you wish. Every lesson also includes subtitles, which can be translated into many languages and are particularly helpful for those who are hard of hearing.

Once you enrol, you'll receive an email from Teachable with everything you need to get started. You can also watch your classes anytime using the Teachable app on your phone or tablet.
 

Loom Equipment

I mainly weave on small pocket looms and currently use Mirrix looms in my teaching. However, you can use almost any tapestry loom throughout my courses.

I usually work at a sett of 8 warps per inch (8 vertical warp threads), so if you're buying a new loom, I recommend choosing one with an 8-dent spacing. If you already own a different loom, don't worry. Many of my students successfully adapt my techniques to suit the equipment they already have.

I even show you how to make your own simple frame loom from an inexpensive artist's canvas, making it easy to begin without investing in specialist equipment.

Starting tapestry weaving can feel overwhelming, but I'm here to make the process enjoyable and to support you every step of the way. A full equipment list, complete with links, is included inside each course.

For students based in the USA, I also offer my Beginner Course as part of a Mirrix loom package, which includes everything you need to begin your tapestry journey.
