They can provide you a rigid heddle loom, or if you have one that you’re struggling to get the hang of, bring it on the day – learn to weave on your own loom! You could alternatively purchase a loom from them and they will bring it on the day and can put it together for you.
They will be using larger looms so that they can have a big beautiful piece at the end. You will learn to weave using different techniques, so you could use it as a sample piece, or if you wanted to make something to show off, they can do that too!
