Testimonials

  • I recently attended a WSS workshop with Heather Walters in her delightful studio in Kyneton. With one other participant Heather led us through the theory and practicalities of designing and sewing without using a pattern. What a revelation! Having experience in the more traditional methods, it was refreshing to learn how to approach sewing a garment with limited waste and utilising the features of the handwoven fabric. Heather is a generous tutor with many examples to share. With only two students it allowed a range of options to be discussed and time for practical work to be done. A great workshop and would benefit anyone considering designing and making garments from their handwoven fabric.

  • Our experience learning Saori with you today was so inspiring, for both Harper and I. We absolutely LOVED our lesson and 3hrs just flew by, we could have stayed the whole day!! It was a great lesson for Harper to learn that when you love what you do, time flies by! Thank you for igniting the creative spark in us. I’m sure we will see you soon for another lesson.

  • Learning SAORI style weaving with Art Weaver Studio has been a fantastic learning experience. It has really challenged my perspective on all the amazing creative possibilities within the weaving medium. Heather's expertise as an artisan and personalised guidance created a supportive and artistic nurturing environment for me to flourish in the weaving art form. I have now created a number of woven pieces involving a range of mixed methods which I just love. The entire learning and creation process has been an absolute joy. I have also found so much support and friendship in the mutual learning environment, working alongside other aspiring and experienced creative individuals. Thank you very much.
