Online Tapestry Classes | Liz Whiteside Studio

ON-LINE TAPESTRY CLASSES

Learn to weave from the comfort of your own home with my step-by-step video lessons. In these pre-recorded classes, I guide you through every stage of the process using either a pocket loom or a simple wooden frame loom — which I’ll show you how to make yourself in the Beginner’s Course.

My courses are now subtitled in most languages. Are you based in the EU? I have a brand new school just for you.

TESTIMONIALS

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!
