Every enquiry passes the same small desk in the studio. Tell us whether you are booking a loom bay, asking for an archive run, arranging a commission fitting or joining a lecture evening, and the right weaver will answer within two working days. The studio is a working room, so a written note is always the fastest way to reach us.
The loft sits in a quiet business park on the west side of the Salt Lake Valley. Parking is free and level with the door, and the loom floor is step free. Please write ahead if you are travelling from outside the valley so that we can hold a bench and a bay for the day.
No. The studio stocks a small range of cotton, wool and alpaca yarns in the weights the standing warps are dressed for, and renters can buy yarn by the skein at booking. Many renters bring their own yarn because the colour matters to the project. Either way, we ask that the yarn arrives before the warp is dressed so that the sett can be checked against it.
Most commissions are booked four to eight weeks ahead, with wall panels and ceremonial cloth often taking longer. The first conversation can usually happen within a week. A written brief follows the conversation, and the loom is scheduled once the brief and the sample are approved, so the calendar is honest about what the floor can hold.
Yes. Open studio hours fall on Saturday mornings by appointment, and the monthly heritage lecture evening is free with a reservation. Visitors are welcome to watch a warp being tied on, ask about the archive, and see the looms in use. We only ask for a short note beforehand so that someone is at the desk to meet you.
