Private Class: Backstrap Weaving (in-person) / Contact us to schedule

As a sewing and fabric lover I had to take a backstrap weaving class with Doña Cristina. Luckily my weaving project was already prepared with the most beautiful colours and pattern. With a lot of patience and humour Cristina taught me all the steps and slowly I started seeing my progress, which is an amazing feeling. The more I improved, the more personal tips Cristina gave me to improve the quality of my weaving. I felt super at ease and relaxed, thanks to Cristinas lovely energy and in this super idillic garden.
100% recommendable, also for beginners.
Don't forget to take a look in the shop, there are so many lovely designs and products.

On April 1, 2024 I spent a joyfilled 2 hours with Eve at Kawkaw learning backstrap weaving. Her patience and skill made for a delightful class.
Yes, I had fun. Yes, I will make mistakes while I attempt to do it at home. No, I will not be a master weaver, but joy will fill my thoughts every time I pick up my weaving because of Kawkaw Designs.

We took a backstrap weaving class with Dona Everilda as a couple earlier this month and had the best time. Everilda was a great teacher, very clear with her instructions and very patient with our mistakes! Our arms were tired by the end of it but we learnt a lot and had a really lovely time. There was a break halfway through the session during which we ate some delicious banana bread and drank cocoa tea. We really enjoyed learning the basics of weaving but also just chatting to Everilda and getting to know her. Also, the venue is amazing, the class took place under the shade of trees in a nice courtyard with a fountain. Thank you Evelyn for setting this up :)

I did this class for fun while passing thru Antigua. I have just started Heddle loom weaving and was keen to see the setup for backstrap weaving. Not gonna lie, having a simple project already warped and started was great as it gave me a chance to sit and both see, and then try, myself. All the ladies are fabulous but I have to really compliment the instructors. So patient when dealing with adults on a system they teach to young kids! Thoroughly enjoyed my two hours and bought one of their beginner backstrap kits to try a project back home in Alaska. Highly recommended. Not intimidating at all and super great to get some hands-on help before going back to the videos.

I visited KaKaw designs during my honeymoon and took a few backstrap weaving class with Everlida. I am a beginner and this was my first class learning backstrap weaving. It was fun and informative I bought a backstrap and enrolled in two more courses with her. She is an amazing human being and knows so much about this art form. I practice at home regularly. My husband took the classes with me, he is a computer guy and he even enjoyed learning the backstrap weaving. He made a lovely piece that hangs on the wall. I would highly recommend this course or any of the courses from KaKaw designs. The hospitality is amazing. They brought out snacks and drinks during break time. The garden, where the weaving takes place is beautiful. There is a lovely fountain and many flowers. The studio inside has items for purchase. You can also check out other classes like pom pom making. Highly recommended! ❤️❤️❤️
