The Weaving Experience

In a Traditional Artisan's Workshop

Meet The Weaver

Antoine Tan-Newl

The rhythmic click and bang of Antoine’s 200-year-old looms will put you into a state of hypnotized awe as you watch our traditional master weaver create vibrant colourful items using pre-industrial technology.

 

Antoine is keeping alive one of the most vulnerable traditions on the islands of Malta and doing it with style! His top-quality products and knowledge of their creation are hard to find these days and deserve special appreciation. Wherever possible the wool he uses is sourced locally from neighbouring sheep farms helping to support the local economy.
