On hearing that I was interested in textiles, the art teacher went on the hunt for a loom they used to have in the department. It turned up a week later, completely in pieces and I was given the task of assembling (and learning how to use) it. This loom must be going on 50 years old and the only instructions I could find on the net were in Dutch.... but I think I managed to guess my way through it, with some help from the DT teacher making the parts that were missing.

My first samples (they're not much to look at but are helping me get to grips with working the loom...)
