Tapestry weaving is one of the most accessible and relaxing forms of fibre art — and it’s great fun, too! All you need is a few basic materials to get started. Our Mirrix looms are the perfect companions for your creative journey. They are sturdy and incredibly versatile, and are designed to grow with your ambitions.
Whether you prefer to work on a small, intuitive scale or are looking for a more technical structure, a Mirrix provides the perfect support for your creative process, making it simple and straightforward. It’s a tool that invites you to experiment with shapes, lines and textures – how brilliant is that

Master the craft: Liz Whiteside’s online school
Want to master the technique? For professional online guidance, we work closely with our EU partner: Liz Whiteside’s online school. Her courses will guide you step by step through the process, from warping your loom for the first time to perfecting the finest details of your design.

Expand your horizons with our out-of-the-box learning approach.
Alongside traditional techniques, we encourage you to think outside the box. That’s why we also recommend ‘out-of-the-box’ courses, covering everything from experimental textures to weaving with unconventional materials. Be inspired by creators who are pushing the boundaries of the loom.

Inspiration on paper
In addition to online lessons, we also recognise the value of books. On this page, we regularly showcase inspiring titles to help you refine your technique and expand your artistic vision.
