Loop of the Loom - DUMBO studio. Tapestry by Nobuko Tsuruta, Dress by Yukako Satone

Learn to weave, felt and spin!
When you step into Loop of the Loom, soft music and cheerful colors invite you to a pre-set loom waiting for you. With our gentle guidance and happy energy flow, your creative journey begins on a loom. Just open your creative mind without intention...
Weaving Sessions
Experiment with Zen weaving! It's easy, fun, and no-mistakes! Unlike conventional weaving, we don't teach how to make a uniform fabric like machine-made. We always try to do what only human beings can do. Let your creative mind find your true self by using yarns from over 500 colorful and natural materials.














2-hour Introductory Session
Don't worry if you think you're clumsy. You will be immersed in weaving with our unlimited materials in no time. Within just two hours, a tapestry-size woven piece can be completed by you! You'll be proud of what you've accomplished!
Preset loom with 12" wide black ($75) or optional white cotton warp (+$15). Materials included.
The weft color looks more vivid with black thread warp. The weft color looks like it's covered with a white veil with white thread warp.
Kid’s price is available for ages 6-14. Book from Kids Classes.
Outside materials are not permitted.








Mindful Zen Weaving Session
All-day session with no experience necessary. Find joy in the spontaneous changes and discoveries that arise within a single fabric, mirroring the serenity and simplicity of Zen philosophy. You may end up with a long tapestry, scarf, or original fabric to make something else out of!
Weave as long as you like during our studio hours from 11am to 6pm.
This is not a one-day loom rental, so we do not allow you to make multiple pieces or planned design patterns.

Kids Classes
Our weaving method encourages freedom of expression through true improvisation to everyone! The result of the class is always a big surprise as no two weavings are alike. We provides a process-oriented program that empowers every child to create and self-express with confidence without the fear of making mistakes.




Mini-Zen Kids Class
Ages 6-14
$65 / 2 hours (includes materials)
Drop-off your children for zen weaving! Release them from school business and let their minds be free to explore their own creative world. The meditative setting of our zen weaving dojo allows for calmed focus, unlike other enrichment activities. Make a one-of-a-kind sensory creation with unlimited colors and soft materials. We will provide a loom to each one with a 12-inch wide black cotton warp thread and initially guide them with basic techniques, and within a minute, children will be able to start weaving by themselves. When your young children are proudly done with their masterpieces, you'll be amazed beyond your expectations!
NOTE
To Parents of Young Children:
Please note that there is an age restriction of 6 years old. During the session, we kindly ask guardians to leave the studio. Otherwise, you may quietly stay in the waiting area until the children become comfortable within the space.
To Parents of Older Children:
Before the class, please instruct your children to avoid disturbing other weavers if participating with friends or siblings. Additionally, if children will be returning home by themselves, please notify us in advance or have them contact you upon leaving.

Nuno Felting Scarf
Upcoming Workshop
Nuno felting is a technique which creates beautiful layered textiles of fabric and natural fibers, inspired by ancient felting processes.
The process of wet felting is a physically laborious process, but we will guide you to a wonderful result with an adapted technique and as little physical strain as possible. Like a group workout, it's fun to do together. We believe that the end result is beautiful because of the love and the effort put into the cloth's creation. Improvised colors and textures made by nature make us happy. Let's make together with other fiber lovers!
