The weaving workshop is a place for active and creative people who want to learn and develop weaving skills and other crafts, to explore ethnographic traditions and the process of textile making, to learn the nuances of making and wearing a folk costume and to engage in creative self-expression by making one’s own folk costume or some other textile item.

The principal display features more than 40 looms, including a 19th-century mechanical loom with pulleys and levers and an early 20th-century semi-automatic loom made by craftsman and designer Pēteris Viļumsons. The workshop supports People’s Applied Art Studio “Durbe”. Studio members largely focus on researching and making folk costume, producing collections of ethnographic dress for the museum of Tukums. The space is used for applied art exhibitions, individual and group trainings, lessons for pupils and adults, creative workshops, continued education courses and consultations for those interested in choosing and making a folk costume. Visitors can purchase souvenirs and handmade textiles by weavers from Tukums and other creators.
