Hands-on workshops in traditional Latvian belt loom weaving, designed for complete beginners. Learn authentic techniques and explore the patterns rooted in regional textile heritage.
Start from scratch with the fundamentals of traditional Latvian belt looms. We cover loom setup, basic weaving techniques, thread preparation, and how to manage tension properly. This single-session workshop is perfect if you've never woven before and want to experience the craft hands-on.
Discover the meanings behind traditional Latvian belt patterns and learn to read historical pattern charts. We explore color combinations, symbolic elements, and how to adapt classic designs for your own weaving projects. Ideal for beginners who want to understand the cultural story woven into each pattern.
Build real skill over a month with weekly two-hour sessions. Week one covers setup and basic motions, week two focuses on rhythm and consistency, week three introduces pattern variations, and week four brings everything together as you complete your first finished belt. Small group setting with plenty of individual guidance.
Already familiar with basic weaving? This session is for you. We help you design a personal pattern, work with color choices, and translate your design into a weavable chart. You'll leave with a unique pattern ready to weave on your own belt loom at home.
Each workshop is tailored to your skill level and interests. Contact us to discuss which session works best for you, ask questions about what to expect, or let us know about any specific patterns or techniques you'd like to explore.
