Discover the joy of tapestry weaving

— your learning journey in three stages

Discover the joy of tapestry weaving with my step-by-step online learning, designed to make weaving accessible, creative and fun — whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced weaver looking to develop your skills further.

My online learning is designed as a three-stage journey:

1. Beginner’s Course – Learn the foundations
If you’re completely new to tapestry weaving, this is the best place to start. I’ll take you through the essential techniques step by step, including how to create different shapes, choose and use your equipment, and get started with a simple wooden frame loom. The course gives you the solid foundation you need before moving on to the next stage.

2. YouTube – Practise and build your confidence
My brand-new YouTube channel sits perfectly between the Beginner’s Course and Artful Threads. Here you’ll find small, achievable tapestry projects and images to weave, giving you the opportunity to practise your skills and become more confident with your loom and techniques. You may also find demonstrations of things covered in the Beginner’s Course, but the focus here is on making and experimenting rather than teaching the complete foundations.

3. Artful Threads – Develop your creativity
When you’re ready to take your weaving further, Artful Threads introduces more advanced techniques, including colour blending. This is where you can begin to explore colour, texture and detail in greater depth and create more expressive, artistic pieces.
Note: enrolment for Artful Threads now closes on 30 September 2026.

And when your weaving is finished…

Framing Your Work is a separate course designed to help you take your finished tapestry from the loom to the wall. I’ll show you how to prepare, finish and frame your woven pieces so that your hard work can be presented and enjoyed as a finished work of art.

You can take this course whenever you’re ready to start finishing and displaying your work — whether you’ve made a piece through the Beginner’s Course, one of my YouTube projects, or as part of Artful Threads

So, where should you start?
If tapestry weaving is completely new to you, begin with the Beginner’s Course. Then use my YouTube channel to practise, make and build your confidence. When you’re ready to explore colour blending and take your creativity further, move on to Artful Threads.

How my online classes work

My online tapestry classes are hosted on the Teachable platform, making them easy to access and enjoy at your own pace. Each lesson is delivered via YouTube, so your videos are yours to keep and revisit whenever you like. They also include subtitles, which can be translated into any language and are ideal for those who are hard of hearing.

Once you register, Teachable will send you an email with everything you need to get started. You can also access your classes anytime using the Teachable app on your smartphone or tablet.

IMPORTANT

I have two Teachable Schools. Why? The EU has different tax legislation.

My new YouTube channel is the perfect companion before moving on to my more advanced colour blending courses

My YouTube channel sits perfectly between my Beginner Tapestry Course and Artful Threads (below). In the Beginner course, I show you the essential shapes, techniques and equipment you need to get started. On YouTube, you can then build on those skills with simple little tapestry projects and images to make at your own pace. I don’t go into colour blending here — that’s where Artful Threads takes you next, helping you develop those skills further and create more detailed, artistic pieces.

Artful Threads – Advanced Tapestry Weaving

Artful Threads will close to new students on 30 September.

Filmed over nine months and with more than 35 hours of detailed video teaching, Artful Threads is my most comprehensive online tapestry course. It brings together the techniques I use in my own work and takes you on a creative journey into painterly tapestry weaving.

Whether you’re drawn to landscapes, seascapes or more abstract work, Artful Threads will give you a wonderful range of techniques to explore and make your own. As your confidence grows, you’ll learn to experiment with colour, develop your own ideas and discover the freedom of creating tapestry in your own individual style.

Working with fine threads and multiple strands of colour, I’ll show you how to create depth, light, atmosphere and beautiful detail — gradually building your skills and confidence as you learn to paint on the loom.

What will I learn?

The course has 35 hours of video to watch. Throughout the course you'll explore:

Starter seascape module to bring the techniques together before moving on to landscapes
Colour blending using multiple fine threads
Creating smooth gradients and subtle transitions
Abstract tapestry techniques
Four-selvedge (fringeless) weaving
Creative use of exposed warp
Shapes, sheds and directional weaving
Meet-and-separate techniques

Twisting the warp
Creating 'worms' for texture and form
Weaving side-on with confidence

And much more as your skills grow throughout the course
