Situated in the converted Old Print Works on the outskirts of Birmingham City Centre, the looms were rescued in pieces from a local further education college that was downsizing its textiles department and a small dedicated group of Weavers and helpers have restored the looms back to working order. The looms are available to hire, there is one novice weaver who can give basic assistance in warping and tieing on and 2 experienced weavers/weave graduates who could be available on advanced notice. Ideally weavers who hire the facility need to be competent to work on their own but do contact to discuss any requirements to see if they can be accomadated.
