This course is for absolute beginners, to help you get started on the wonderful journey of tapestry weaving. I am a tapestry artist based in a studio in Newcastle upon Tyne. I launched workshops in early 2024 and have now brought them online. Starting tapestry can feel a bit daunting, all the different looms and complex terminology. I simplify it for you and guide you step by step through essential shape making, tension etc. You can use knitting yarn (DK/8 ply) and I even show you how to make a simple wooden frame loom. My students are world-wide and go on to my colour blending tapestry course where we use fine tapestry yarns.

You have finished your tapestry and now it's time to show it off! In this very short course I show you how to take the work off the loom, mount the tapestry onto cotton board and then frame.
