Warp Works Workshop: Railreed/Multiweave, Stepping Reed 16 August 1pm
An afternoon of reed- and reedless weavng exploration. We will be creating samples on several Saori looms prepared with different reeds. All materials included, as well as tea and coffee. Try all the reeds, or weave without one alltogether.
This workshop is not just for Saori weavers, as the Railreed and Stepping reed will fit other looms as well. Some floorloom experience is desired.
The last hour of the workshop is for independent freestyle work with a reed of choice, subject to availability
You take home what you weave
Hemp Harvest Retreat 2026
Freeweaver Studio is pleased to be taking part in the Hemp Harvest Retreat at Wakelyns Farm in Suffolk for the third year in a row. Organised and curated by Contemporary Hempery (Kitty Wilson Brown + Claire O'Sullivan)
Autumn Intern Cohort
A small number of internship places are available within an active, public-facing weaving studio.
Interns attend a minimum of two afternoons per week and participate in the day-to-day rhythm of the studio, including light preparation, workshop support, and general upkeep of the space.
The placement is structured around basic training in working on Japanese floor looms and within a shared studio environment. Interns are present primarily to learn and to contribute to the studio’s creative atmosphere.
Limited time is made available for up to three agreed independent weaving projects during quieter periods.
This is not a residency or open studio. Access to equipment and materials is restricted to agreed times and activities within the studio framework.
Applicants must have completed an introductory weaving workshop at Freeweaver Studio; however, completion of this workshop does not guarantee a place on the internship.

Muutujad.VARIABLES Book
“Variables. Warp and Weft Manipulations on Handlooms” is the result of several years of research and collaborative experimentation carried out at Kadipuu OÜ with Marilyn Piirsalu, and at the Pallas University of Applied Sciences with Mari-Triin Kirs. The authors of this book—artists and students—approach weaving as a system of variables, where elements can be shifted, disrupted, and reimagined.
Among the authors are Carolyn Carson (USA), Erna Janine (Great Britain), Jolanda Rietdijk (Netherlands) who show their works woven with RailReed.
