Customer Reviews
Áine is a lovely person and a talented weaver
I attended the spinning class and it was absolutely brilliant. Highly recommend both if you have an interest already or coming to it brand new.
My daughter and I had the absolute joy of spending an afternoon with Áine at her home studio learning about the art of loom weaving. She was warm, kind, patient, and a wonderful host and teacher. We both left with small sample pieces we had woven ourselves and enough knowledge to pursue this new passion at home in the US. Highly recommend this experience!!!
