Tablet Weaving on an Inkle Loom

Get started with the beautiful art of tablet/card weaving!

Warning: This craft is genuinely addictive.

Tablet weaving has a way of pulling you in!

If you've been curious about tablet weaving but weren't sure where to start, this course will take you from "what even are cards?" to weaving beautiful, intricate bands - step by step, at your own pace.


"I absolutely LOVED this course!! I also am working on the Inkle weaving course and because of these two courses, I’ve become obsessed and had to buy another loom. Kelly makes it easy to learn these new concepts and her courses are perfect for me because I’m a visual learner. I look forward to future, more advanced classes once I get the hang of this."

What makes tablet weaving so special?

Those little cards with just four holes are capable of producing an extraordinary range of designs. From bold geometric patterns to more delicate, detailed bands that look impossibly complex but are completely achievable once you know the system.

And the best part is you don't need a fancy loom or a room full of equipment. If you already have an inkle loom, you almost have everything you need to get started.

 

"Like all of Kelly's classes, this class demystified the entire process of tablet weaving! I especially appreciated the variations on how to warp. Thanks so much. Looking forward to lot of colorful bands!"

"Kelly Casanova's Tablet Weaving course changed my inkle weaving practice. I had tried and enjoyed plain weaving and various types of pickup weaving, but tablet weaving seemed so complicated and daunting. I tried on my own and made so many mistakes I gave up. Kelly's step-by-step approach really helped me understand what I was doing. I especially loved the explanation of how to use the online tools so that I could make my own designs and play around with them. And frankly, that 2d design used for the class is just flat-out gorgeous! Everyone I've shown it to has been blown away. Now I feel like I can go forward on my own. Thank you, Kelly!"
