Join in and discover Saori for yourself! Saori is taught in a friendly, relaxed and informal way. All equipment is provided and the basic weaving techniques are fun and easy to learn.
Weaving sessions are held in my light and airy studio in Stroud.
I can accommodate up to four people at a time.

Out & About
My Saori looms are highly portable and can be used in a wide variety of settings.
I can bring up to four looms and a variety of colourful yarns to your home or the venue of your choice, or arrange a venue if required.
A Saori workshop is a fun and unusual birthday or hen party idea, and is ideal way for craft groups to try out weaving without having to invest in all of the equipment.

"What Can I make?"
Saori woven cloth can be made into a wide variety of items, including scarves, bags, wall-hangings, clothing, cushions, rugs, bunting, table runners, flags, community banners and more. Often is is good to try sitting at the loom with an open mind, choosing the colours and yarns as you go along and only deciding an end purpose once the weaving has been taken off the loom and it's qualities revealed.
Saori weaving is enjoyed by people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds across the world. The Piccollo loom is suitable for even very young children to use; attachments are available for with physical disabilities to weave and some of the most extraordinary and imaginative Saori weavings are produced by people with learning disabilities. There is no upper age limit either; Misao Jo, the founder of Saori is still weaving at the age of 99!
