English translation:weaving mill
Explanation:
Although this of course means large scale production. Artistic weaving shop (ie, similar to workshop) might do. Weaving studio -- sounds a bit more "artistic".

disagree  Jon Zuber (X): Sorry, embroidery is sewing decorative thread on cloth, while weaving is creating cloth from thread.

craft weaving, or just weaving


Explanation:
Just a suggestion, as 'craft' is a more common collocation with weaving than art or artistic, just as
'konsthantverk' = craft handiwork, not art handiwork.
But 'weaving' alone seems OK, because by definition it is both artistic and a craft.
