In these artisan loom courses you will learn to weave by hand, guided by an accredited Master Craftswoman and professional textile artisan since 2007.
The training is individual and in person, so that you can receive immediate attention. The approach is intensive and practical, adapted to your pace, your level and your needs, so that you can continue weaving independently from the knowledge you acquire.
You can choose between a rigid heddle loom, a table loom and a floor loom. In all of them, we work with our own methodology, developed through daily experience in our artisan textile workshop.
The course syllabus is intensive and complete, and we will work through every stage of handweaving:
Designing pieces and choosing fibres.
The calculations needed before you begin.
Setting up the fibre on the loom.
Study of weave structures.
The weaving itself.
The final finishes.
Solving problems that may arise.
No previous experience is required. If you are starting from scratch, we will begin with the foundations. If you already have some experience, you will be able to consolidate your knowledge, organise ideas and discover new weaving practices directly in an active professional workshop.
Whether you come to the loom as a personal interest or with a more professional intention, in these individual courses you will have time to ask me directly, experiment and resolve doubts as they arise. The aim is for you to be able to continue working and create your own handwoven textiles on your low-warp loom.
I have been a professional textile artisan since 2007. I design, create and handweave everyday pieces, textiles and artistic works on artisan low-warp looms.
Over the years, I have studied weave structures in depth, explored the behaviour of natural fibres and developed an understanding of the possibilities offered by non-mechanised looms. This has led me to create my own methodology for both work and teaching, which you can see reflected in our pieces and textiles.
In 2024, after studying my professional career, the Regional Government of Andalusia granted me the recognition of Master Craftswoman, making me the first woman in the province of Jaén to receive this distinction.
From this background, I teach intensive training courses based on real workshop experience, with practical, personalised training and a clear, careful and proven methodology.
These courses are designed for people who want to learn how to weave by hand on low-warp looms or deepen their knowledge. Whether for personal interest or professional development, these courses give you the ability to continue weaving with everything you have learned. These courses are for:
Creative people who want to learn how to weave, or deepen their knowledge of handweaving on rigid heddle, table or floor looms.
Artisans and makers who want to learn low-warp loom weaving from scratch or expand their knowledge alongside a professional artisan.
Students from art schools who wish to explore design, weave structures, textile structures and the uses of natural fibres in greater depth.
Teachers and training centres that need to expand their practical knowledge with guidance from a professional artisan and accredited Master Craftswoman.
You can choose between three types of looms: rigid heddle, table and floor looms. All three are low-warp looms, although each one offers a different way of working, learning and progressing.
The rigid heddle loom is the simplest and most manageable. With folding options available, it allows you to begin without prior training and create simple textiles by combining colour and texture. It requires the lowest investment.
The table loom allows you to explore weave structures and the interpretation of drafts in greater depth. It is suitable for those who want to expand their possibilities and work on looms from 4 to 16 shafts. It requires training and a medium investment.
The floor loom offers similar possibilities to the table loom, although with greater warp capacity and a more advanced way of weaving, as the shafts are moved with the pedals. It requires training and a higher investment.
In addition to the in-person courses at the workshop, I also offer the possibility of travelling to provide intensive training in educational centres, museums, cultural institutions and companies.
This format is designed for training programmes or projects that wish to incorporate the artisan loom as a tool for creation, research and learning, with content adapted to their specific context.
We can design bespoke workshops for:
If you manage one of these organisations and would like more information about formats, contents and travel conditions, you can contact me and we will study the most suitable proposal for your centre here. Contact
These courses are individual and taught with exclusive dedication, so that you can resolve any doubt immediately and receive direct attention throughout the course.
They are theoretical and practical courses in which you will learn to weave on the loom you have chosen, from designing your pieces to finishing them, going through each and every stage of the weaving process.
The working proposal includes setting up two warps, a sample piece and a scarf, so that you can understand, practise and reinforce all the course content.
In these intensive courses we cover the following contents:
No. Each course starts from scratch, so you do not need previous experience.
In each course you will learn:
The course includes:
The natural fibres we will weave with.
You only need to bring comfortable clothing suitable for weaving at the loom, a pencil and a notebook for taking notes.
You do not need to bring your own loom, although if you would like to bring it, that is also possible.
The course is taught in our workshop at Casa Forestal El Pilarillo, 7 km from Orcera, in the heart of the Sierra de Segura, within the Cazorla, Segura y Las Villas Natural Park.
The access road is a mountain road, paved and in good condition, and we have a parking area.
It is a setting where you can breathe calm, fresh air and enjoy a great diversity of flora and fauna.
Yes. Each course has a different duration, from two to four or five days.
If you are coming from elsewhere, we can advise you on different accommodation options so that you can choose according to your preferences and make your stay part of the course experience. You can contact us here. Contact
When the course ends, you take with you all the knowledge you have learned, your sample piece and your scarf. You can also count on me to develop your first projects or resolve specific doubts by phone or WhatsApp.
These courses are designed so that the person attending receives complete training as a handweaver on artisan low-warp looms. It is a gift of knowledge and experience, for life. If you have doubts about which one to choose, I can help you personally; please get in touch with us
