AN INVITATION

An immersion in the full process of textile making.

Set within the environment of Heenat Salma Farm, this experience brings together Sadu weaving, Kilim weaving, wool preparation, and natural dyeing into one continuous, hands-on journey.

 

Participants will work closely with materials, tools, and techniques — developing both practical skills and a deeper understanding of craft, culture, and sustainability.

 

This is a small-group programme designed for focused learning and direct engagement.

HANDS-ON

“Every thread carries a memory. Every pattern, a story.”

The Programme

Four stages, one continuous journey.

Each stage builds on the last. By the final week, you’ll have followed wool from raw fleece all the way to a finished, dyed, woven sample.

Weeks 1–2

Sadu Weaving

Rooted in Bedouin heritage, Sadu weaving introduces you to traditional techniques, loom setup, and foundational patterns. The journey begins with understanding rhythm, structure, and cultural context — the discipline that underlies every woven piece that follows.

Outcomes

What you'll take away.

Skills, materials, and a foundation you can keep building on long after the programme ends.

BY THE END

You leave with the work of your hands.

Each stage builds on the last. By the final week, you’ll have followed wool from raw fleece all the way to a finished, dyed, woven sample.

One Sadu Sample

A finished, hand-woven Sadu piece using traditional techniques you’ve practised over the first weeks.

One Kilim Sample

A geometric Kilim weave that demonstrates pattern variation and structural understanding.

Naturally Dyed Yarn

Yarn you have spun by hand and dyed with plant-based dyes, ready to weave with.

Who It's For

This programme is for you if…

Skills, materials, and a foundation you can keep building on long after the programme ends.

No prior weaving experience is required. What we ask
for is presence, attention, and a willingness to work
slowly with the material.
