In this workshop, you’ll explore weaving “waffles” patterns with a beautiful 3D texture that invite experimentation. What effects can you create with different colours and materials? Can you achieve optical illusions?

Through playful discovery, you’ll explore the many possibilities. 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 practical training in traditional crafts. Their programme follows a modern master–apprentice model, with learning-by-doing at its core. Craftspeople are the teachers, and all (young) adults who want to work with head, heart, and hands are welcome. Participants can discover and further develop their passion for craftsmanship through practical 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. Weaving is not only a technical skill but also a meditative, creative experience that allows you to experiment with colour, pattern, and material.

Jacqueline Looijen has been weaving 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 teaches workshops and courses both independently and at Het Ambachtshuis Brabant, sharing the craft from the heart—making her a warm and enthusiastic instructor.
