Loom Rental Information

Our looms are available to rent for independent projects.

LMRM’s offering includes one floor loom and one semi-automatic TC2 digital jacquard loom. All our looms are hand looms, so reservations are for artists who are looking for dedicated time to weave projects themselves. Reservation availability varies month to month—we encourage you to sign up for our newsletter for booking alerts.

PROCESSES + PRICING

Floor Loom Rental

The floor loom is available on a monthly basis, with a sliding scale fee of any number between $250-400/month. No questions asked, just let us know what fee you select.

A non-refundable 50% booking deposit (goes toward your total month rental fee) holds your space on the loom until you start your project. The full monthly rental fee is due by the first day of your booking. Booking periods are requested 1 month at a time. For projects requiring more time, we ask that you reserve the following month with an additional booking deposit.

TC2 Digital Jacquard Loom Rental

The TC2 Digital Jacquard Loom is available via a pay-per-use model, with a daily rental fee of $150 for one session (4 hrs), up to two sessions a day (total 8 hrs) + $50/yard materials fee. Your requested sessions will be the number of sessions billed.

Minimum usage is one full day (two sessions/8 hrs) before you add on half days (one session/4 hrs). Maximum requests are set at ten total sessions per cycle (5 days). We cap our material use at 3 yards of warp per rental period.

A non-refundable 50% booking deposit (goes toward your total rental fee) holds your space on the loom. The full rental fee is due by the first day of your rental period. Material usage fees are charged on the last day of your rental. We fill our booking calendar 60 days at a time, and the default warp on the loom varies each cycle.
