By the end of Weft-Faced, you'll have the techniques, the confidence, and the creative freedom to make tapestry that is completely, beautifully yours.

No more staring at a blank loom wondering where to start. No more trapezoid-shaped tapestries. No more feeling like tapestry is for someone else.

You'll walk away with:

• A fully realized tapestry sampler
• Mastery of the essential techniques
• The foundation to design your own work from scratch
• A weaving practice that grows with you — forever

This is the course that turns inspiration into art.

At Warped Fibers, we believe in learning how to do things the right way first and we encourage experimentation always.

What does that mean?

There are many different ways that you can weave tapestry. So when I say "the right way" what I mean is simple and straight forward lessons that get you where you need to go without sacrificing the integrity of the weaving.

There are a lot of ways that you can weave tapestry that just includes shortcuts and ignores proper techniques (ignoring your sides, forgetting your tails, using incorrect yarn, etc.)

We don't do that here.

You will learn the rules so you can break the rules (if you want to!)

Taking what you learn and being able to experiment is what can differentiate you from other weavers. I want you to be able to make tapestry your own and push the limits of what tapestry is.



This comprehensive course is designed to take you from the basic stitches to mastering complex tapestry techniques, giving you the tools to create stunning, textured pieces of art. These tolls will help you design your own tapestries with confidence instead of hesitation.

By the end of this course, you'll have the confidence to apply these timeless techniques to create the fiber art you have been dreaming about.

So if this sounds like the way you like to learn, well, then this course is for you!

"I've never woven before."

That's ok! This tapestry course is 100% beginner weaver friendly!

You don't need any previous weaving experience to take this course. You do need to know how to set up loom, but beyond that, I will teach you the basics and beyond.

Want a super quick tutorial on how to warp an inexpensive tapestry loom? Check out this post here.

"I already know how to weave patterns, but I've never woven tapestry."

This is a great course for you too! Weaving patterns and weaving tapestry have some things in common, but they are also very different. While this course is made to be beginner friendly, it is great for intermediate to advanced weavers too!

Your materials can change and the techniques that you use in tapestry aren't usually used in pattern weaving. So this is a great course to learn something new!

"I have woven tapestry before, but I would like a refresher."

Everyone is going to weave and teach differently. Learning from many people can be a great way to develop your own style and find out what works best for you. Refreshing your skills can also refresh your tapestries, and this course will help you do that.

Since the development of Warped Fibers in 2020, I have had people from all over the country and world ask about how they could learn more from me if they can't take an in-person class.

I have also had people who take my in-person classes who want in-depth reminders of different techniques even after classes have ended.

This is the beauty of online courses!

Weft-Faced: Tapestry Techniques & Beyond allows everyone - no matter where you live - to learn tapestry at your own pace.

If you are the kind of learner that needs to be able to see the same technique multiple times to get it - no worries - replay them as much as you want!

If you are busy and can't dedicate specific times or dates to a class - perfect! Sneak in your learning whenever it is most convenient for you - even if that means weeks or months between videos. It's ok, because once you purchase, this course is yours to come back to whenever you want!

24/7. 365 days a year. Forever.

One of the biggest fears students have about taking an online course is that they will be missing out on personalized instruction.

What if you have questions?!?

Don't worry! All sections of the course allow you to ask questions that I will personally answer. At No Extra Cost! Asking questions is a part of the learning process, I won't make you pay more for that.

You also have access to a Discord group which allows you to have an even larger community of weavers to connect with whenever you want! You will engage with other weavers from all over the world. That means even more people to share in your tapestry success.

Weaving tapestry is about making choices. Every choice you make will make your weaving unique to you.

What kind of loom do I need?

Any loom that holds a firm, tight tension works great for tapestry - frame looms, floor looms, even an embroidery hoop or canvas.

Nicole uses a simple frame loom in the course. Rigid heddle looms aren't ideal because of their tension, but if it's what you have - start there.

Getting started always beats waiting for the perfect loom.

Can I combine tapestry and embroidery weaving?

Yes! Tapestry and embroidery weaving are a beautiful combination, especially on smaller pieces where tension is less of a factor. Nicole's embroidery weaving kits in the shop are a perfect companion to this course.

What materials do I need?

At the start of the course Nicole walks you through exactly what you need and why. Here's a quick overview:

• A loom suitable for tapestry
• Warp yarn
• Weft yarn
• Tapestry needle + beater
• Water-soluble marker or paper cartoon
• Scissors or yarn snips
• Grey thread

Full materials list with Nicole's recommendations here.

Is there a payment plan?

Yes - you can split the course into installments at checkout, or purchase it in 3 separate segments and mix & match at your own pace.

What if I have questions while taking the course?

Every section has a Q&A; where Nicole personally answers questions - always included, never an extra charge.

You also have access to the Warped Fibers Discord community, where weavers from around the world are ready to cheer you on.

How long do I have access?

Forever. Once you purchase, this course is yours for life - watch, rewind, and replay as many times as you need. You'll also receive free updates whenever the course grows.
