2 Day | Saturday 13 – Sunday 14 March 2027
THE ART OF CROCHET Crochet is a fun and versatile technique used in contemporary fibre art. In this workshop, you will learn the basic crochet stitches and apply them to making wearable art jewellery pieces and art objects. You will be guided slowly through simple exercises to learn the basic crochet stitches, enabling you to crochet spheres, tubes, flowers, leaves, and beads. This workshop is designed for students who are complete crochet novices and for those who have crocheted before but want to refresh their skills. The aim is to have fun experimenting with techniques and to create uniquely personal wearable art. All levels |
4 Day | Monday 15 – Thursday 18 March 2027
THE ART OF CROCHET II Learn to create a cohesive series of fibre objects that reflect personal meaning and narrative. Primarily using crochet, the fibre objects can become sculptures, vessels and/or jewellery. Building upon skills you may already have and using fun experimental exercises and unconventional materials, you will begin to find your voice, trust your intuition and develop a confident and considered process. Emphasis will be given to experimentation with colour, form, and unconventional materials, e.g., plastic, paper, wire, textiles, and found objects. At the end of this workshop, you will have several fibre objects that tell your story and are ready to wear or exhibit. Suitable for participants who completed the 2-day workshop, as well as intermediate and more experienced crochet artists. Intermediate |
