Tuition and costs for non-members

Weaving 

£100 per person per day (6 hours, 10:00 to 16:00 daily)

If you are a beginner weaver, we advise starting on the rigid heddle.

You should be able to weave a sampler on the rigid heddle in one day.

If you have some experience you may wish to start on a 4 shaft table loom. This would include warping up and dressing the loom, and weaving a sampler or small item over two full days

Spinning 

Tuition per person: one hour £25; two hours £40; three hours £50

Spinning is usually a one-to-one session with our experienced spinner

We would love to welcome you so please get in touch. We can discuss your options in person if you prefer. Email us at fwsdevents2@gmail.com with your requirements and we can give you an idea of the amount of time you would need to book.
