Espoo Adult Education Centre’s Weaving Workshop

At Espoo Adult Education Centre’s Weaving Workshop, you can dive into the fascinating world of weaving and awaken your creativity. The press of the treadle, the movement of the shuttle, and the new surface created by warp and weft make weaving an immersive experience. Step into a world of colors, materials, and possibilities, no previous experience is required!

Weave at the workshop

The Weaving Workshop has a selection of ready-made warps available, so you can choose the one you like and get started right away. You can create rugs, blankets, scarves, towels, table clothes, or wall hangings – exactly the kind that suit your home and personal style. You can use high-quality natural materials or, where possible, recycled materials. A handwoven textile is a durable and ecological choice.

You won’t be left on your own: A weaving teacher will provide the personal instruction you need while working on your project. You will get started easily, even if you have never woven before. You will also receive help with designing your work, finishing it, and acquiring materials. As your skills develop, you will learn more about weaving structures, colors, and the many possibilities of weaving.

Check out the ready-made warps available and choose the one that suits you. Then book your weaving time by phone or email.
