Hand weaving goes beyond plain weave structures in this workshop dedicated to two advanced techniques: Monk’s Belt and Overshot.

You will learn how to create structured, high-contrast patterns by mastering loom setup, warp and weft handling, and the development of textures and relief effects.

What our students have achieved

Nicole Genoud

Workshop Director

After the meeting of an elderly lady weaver, I started weaving as a teenager, as a self-taught enthusiast. After a long break, I stumbled across an ARM loom at a flea market! I immediately started weaving again with the desire to learn a bit more; so I started training as a weaver at Filambule with Danièle Mussard. I've finished the course and feel I've got everything to discover! Now I'll be able to take the time to learn more, experiment and explore this infinite world of yarns, materials and colours... with enthusiasm!
