Trade screen time for loom time and settle into a weaving class in Austin that feels equal parts creative reset and low-key hang. In this beginner-friendly workshop, you’ll learn how to weave while making a soft, durable cotton potholder you’ll actually use at home. The pace is relaxed, the instructions are clear, and you’ll be guided step by step -- so you can focus on the rhythm of the craft instead of getting stuck!
You’ll choose from a range of colors, experiment with simple patterns, and ease into weaving for beginners without pressure to get everything perfect. It’s one of those creative activities that quietly clicks: hands busy, mind calmer, conversation flowing if you want it. Whether you’re exploring new things to do in Austin or looking for cozy date ideas that don’t feel forced, this workshop makes space for both connection and focus.
All materials are provided, along with a welcoming setup -- music, candles, flowers, and tableware for any snacks or non-alcoholic drinks you bring (there’s a mini-fridge, too). You’ll leave with a finished piece, new skills, and a simple, satisfying answer to “how to weave” that you can keep building on!

Hi, I’m Alice Fox, co-founder of Fox Fox Studio, an award-winning architecture and interiors practice. I hold an MFA in Design from the University of Texas and have always been drawn to creative work—Aside from designing spaces, I paint, quilt, and make pottery.
Over the years, I’ve been invited to lead workshops for both children and adults, and through that experience I realized our studio is a natural home for creative gatherings. It offers a space to slow down, connect, and engage in analog, hands-on making.
Sharing the process of making—working with our hands to create something tangible, focusing our attention, and connecting in community—is deeply meaningful to me. I find real joy in creating spaces where others can experience that same sense of connection, presence, and satisfaction.
