In this workshop, you will playfully explore weaving patterns. These can be real patterns or false patterns, designs that emerge through experimenting with colours, creating the illusion of a pattern in the fabric.

You’ll discover endless possibilities through playful experimentation. A table loom will be pre-threaded and ready for you!

You’ll go home with your own woven creation.

Het Ambachtshuis Brabant is a leading educational organization offering hands-on training in traditional crafts. Their programme follows a modern master–apprentice model, placing practical learning at its core. Craftspeople are the teachers, and all (young) adults who want to work with head, heart, and hands are welcome. Students can discover and further develop their passion for craftsmanship through specialised skills training.

One of the crafts you can learn at Het Ambachtshuis Brabant is weaving. In their year-long programme, you can transform a simple collection of yarn into a colourful pattern, a warm scarf, or another artistic creation using your hands and a loom. It’s not only a technical skill but also a meditative, creative process that lets you experiment with colour, pattern, and material.

Jacqueline Looijen has been active as a weaver for over 25 years and continues to learn new techniques. She has volunteered for many years with the Weefnetwerk weaving association, making her a passionate ambassador for the craft. She also teaches workshops and courses independently and at Het Ambachtshuis Brabant. Her heartfelt approach makes her a warm and enthusiastic instructor.
