School of Weaving

The School of Weaving is a series of instructional lessons where weavers learn at their own pace to weave on 4-shaft looms and continue on their weaving journey with renowned and sought-after instructor and designer Jane Stafford.

Each lesson demonstrates step by step instructions and will inspire weavers to design and create the best possible cloth they can – to care about graphic, colour, hand, and drape – from beginners wondering where to start, to experienced production weavers searching for new horizons.
