Learn the Slow Art of Weaving

Slow things right down and discover the wonderfully meditative art of weaving. The Cape Guild of Weavers brings together people who love working with fibre, from complete beginners to experienced textile artists. Learn how threads become cloth, experiment with colour and texture, and discover techniques ranging from traditional loom weaving to spinning, dyeing and other fibre crafts. It’s creative, tactile and surprisingly absorbing — the kind of activity where a few quiet hours can disappear between your fingers.

BEFORE YOU GO
The Guild hosts regular meetings, demonstrations, workshops and special events rather than operating as a daily drop-in studio. Beginners are welcome, and it’s a particularly good place to start if you’re curious about weaving but don’t own a loom or know which technique to try. Workshop locations and topics vary, so check the current programme or contact the Guild before attending. Some activities may require advance booking or a materials fee.
