7 Weeks Evening Weaving Course About the Course This 7-week evening course provides the opportunity to learn how to weave on a 4-shaft loom.  You will learn about this immersive process used for millennia to create cloths. Time on the loom is a great way to escape everyday worries, and we hope you enjoy the process as much as we enjoy teaching it.  Looms will be set up and ready to weave so you can get to grips with learning about different types of weave structures and yarns.  The aim is to make a scarf to take home with you based on your own design development.   WHEN: MONDAYS  13 20 27 February 6 13 20 March, 6PM - 8PM Where and What Time: This workshop runs for 7 evenings from 6pm to 8pm in our Arran Street East Weaving Studio in the heart of the Dublin Fruit and Vegetable Markets area. 43/44 Arran Street East, Dublin 7, Eircode: D07 W226 Cost: €370 If you would like to give this Workshop as a gift please look at our Gift Cards options here.
