Testimonials
“I recently spent a week with Fiona learning about TC 2 loom weaving and using Photoshop to construct the design work. It was a fabulous insight and suddenly all my previous experiences connected and I now have a clear understanding of the common processes in Jacquard weaving . Fiona is a wonderful tutor and I would thoroughly recommend her for guidance and training in this field… a stimulating and informative week.” JJ
“Great day I enjoyed every minute. It gave me a wider view about what is possible.” LM Introduction to Jacquard day.
“Fiona's work is beautiful. I have one of her little seahorses and Iove it. Her work has a vibrancy and depth that reflects the creatures and worlds that she so cleverly weaves from her loom.” JMH
