Tweed is a wool fabric with a long-standing tradition.
Woven in a twill weave, it comes in an infinite variety of patterns and colors, all inspired by nature.
You will warp and set up your loom on a large floor loom with pedals, then you’ll have several days to weave approximately 4 meters of fabric. Finally, you’ll learn how to full (felt) your fabric to give it its final appearance.
Then all that's left to do is sew your dream garment or cover your living room sofa.
Preparation: December 3 at 6 PM.
Workshop: February 23 to 27, 2026.
Throughout the following week, you will have access to the looms to finish your tweed.
Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm

After spending thirty years restoring paintings, I fell into textiles. Sewing, embroidery and knitting have always interested me. Wool spinning and weaving came into my life twenty years ago, when my husband and I took over a family estate in Norway and raised a few sheep. I first taught myself how to process wool and then, to improve my skills, I joined a group of peasant weavers who met weekly. I'm particularly interested in traditional wool and linen techniques, and I use my wools dyed with plants and mushrooms to produce textiles for the home and for clothing.
