Welcome to our premium workshop exploring weaving on a vertical standing floor loom with artist Erin Barrett. Erin is leading us through a detailed, digital workshop in her iconic style on how to work with a variety of fibers to create texture and organic movement in beautiful, oversized tapestry art. One highlight of this workshop is a sturdy maple standing floor loom in either a 48×48″ or 36×48″ (width x height) designed by The Crafter’s Box in collaboration with a custom wood working team in San Diego, CA. We’ve built this loom with the modern weaver in mind – learn about five unique design attributes that set this loom apart on our full workshop page.

To learn more about Erin, our small business partnerships, and to view a preview of our Premium Organic Tapestry Weaving Workshop, visit the full workshop page. This workshop teaches weaving techniques allowing you to build and customize a tapestry. Explore color through placement, blocking, and various stitching combinations to hand make a large wall piece for your home. This meditative, organic style starts at the bottom of the piece and builds as you like it. Our sample weaving pauses at at roughly 22″ of woven work (paired with a matching length of tassels), your new floor loom would allow you to build all the way to a 46″ piece! Add Erin’s original Charleston colorway below to receive 2x as many materials to create a piece this large. Be sure to explore our alternate colorways as well.
