Drop-In Weaving

Upon booking, we will reach out with information on the type of loom and warp colours available for the booking.

Participants will be given a short introduction / refresher on how the looms should be used at the start of the session. They will also receive assistance at the end of the session to remove their woven cloth from the loom. Knot tying is usually required to complete the project after it comes off the loom. We will demonstrate how it can be done. 

A base fee of $25 is charged at the point of booking for the use of the loom and the studio for the day.

Warp material fees are charged based on the length of the cloth woven during the session.

• $15 per metre for rigid heddle and two-shaft floor loom
• $30 per metre for four-shaft floor loom and eight-shaft table loom

Additional fees will apply if participants required extensive instructions. Instructional fees are charged at $15 per half-hour.

Fees are collected at the end of the appointment.

Looms will be pre-dressed before the session.

• Rigid heddle loom and two-shaft floor loom are typically dressed with a two-colour warp, suitable for plain weave.
• Eight-shaft table loom and four-shaft floor loom are typically dressed with a single-colour solid warp, usually for a twill design.

If you need additional information on the warp width, colours or threading on the looms, please contact us before booking.
