About this app

JST School of Weaving is a series of instructional lessons where weavers learn at their own pace to weave on 4-shaft looms and continue on their weaving journey with renowned and sought-after instructor and designer Jane Stafford.

Each lesson demonstrates step by step instructions and will inspire weavers to design and create the best possible cloth they can – to care about graphic, colour, hand, and drape – from beginners wondering where to start, to experienced production weavers searching for new horizons.

Season 1 - The Fundamentals of Weaving

All the fundamentals of weaving. Warping, various methods of dressing the loom, great weaving technique, project planning, understanding sett, information about different types of looms and yarns, weaving with difficult yarns like mohair, fulling and finishing.

Season 2 - Colour & Weave

Laying the foundations of colour and design. The format is simple and easy, encouraging original design and making it accessible and fun. Concepts regarding colour theory, graphic, division of space and the architecture of design are laid down in a way that allows weavers to bring their ideas to reality.

Season 3 - Pushing the Boundaries of Plain Weave

We take an in-depth look at Plain Weave. We get familiar with our reed: exploring denting; cramming and denting; weft-faced; warp-faced; double weave; collapse weave and supplementary warp.

Season 4 - Twills on Four

We explore threadings, tie-ups, treadlings, colour and weave, big threadings, little threadings, Point Twill, Twill and Basket Weave, Shadow Weave, Weft Faced Twills and end up harnessing the power of 4 shaft looms in relation to the twill weave structure.

Season 5 - Laces

We tackle Laces with Canvas Weave, Huck, Huck with Colour and Weave effects, Bronson Spot, Atwater Bronson Lace, Blended Lace and how we can get Lace and Twills all in one piece. But we first start the year with Turned Twill.


Season 6 - Units, Blocks and Profiles

Units, Blocks and Profiles are the 3 words that we dance around in Season 6. We study a few new structures (well, actually very old structures) and see how we can use everything we’ve learned about design in fresh new ways.

Season 7 - An Overlay of Colour and Weave and Texture on Units and Block Structures Season 7 builds on all previous years with special emphasis on the Colour and Weave gamp we did in S2 E4. We take those colour and weave sequences and overlay them onto units and blocks for Overshot, Crackle, Halvdrall, Turned Taquette, Summer & Winter, M’s & O’s and Monk’s Belt. We also start the season with one more 8-shaft Turned Twill with colour & weave.

Season 8 - Double The Fun

In Season 8, we delve further into M’s & O’s and Huck, the Powell method of drafting Shadow Weave, introduction to Deflected Double Weave, Block Double Weave, and Double Faced Twills. We’ll be doubling our fun by looking at structures on 4 and 8 shafts.

Ratings and reviews

Highly recommended! Jane is such a great teacher! I love her School of Weaving channel on Roku! She is highly skilled, very personable, has a wonderful sense of humor, and explains everything in detail. The pace of instruction is good (not too fast for a novice weaver and not boring, either). Each lesson builds upon previous lessons in a practical sequence. Thank you, Jane and your team! Love, Joy and Blessings to all! 🙏

I would be lost without these courses. The fact i can continuously go back and review certain courses helps me a lot to move forward. She is a world treasure and hope she continues to teach, and thank you, I would be lost without her and would have really struggled. I highly recommend these courses regardless of where you are at in your weaving journey.

I'm relatively new to multishaft weaving, and I love the app! It's so easy to print the materials and to cast to my TV for a bigger screen when I want to. The episodes are also broken down into bite size chunks, and I love that the app saves your progress on each video.
