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 advanced weavers alike. My online tapestry classes are designed to make weaving accessible, creative, and fun. Whether you’re working on a pocket loom or building your own wooden frame loom (I’ll show you how in my Beginner’s Course), you’ll discover how to create beautiful, small-scale woven pieces from the comfort of home.

 

I specialize in colour-blended landscapes and seascapes, warp play, and four-selvedge weaving—but that’s just the beginning. With three unique courses to choose from, there’s something for every level.

I support the beautiful Weavers Bazaar yarn in my work.  Click here to see my feature in the October 2025 newsletter.

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!
