Crochet 101: Intro to Sculptural Crochet

1 Day Weekend Workshop:

Saturday May 18th, 2013, 11a-5p

Textile Arts Center Manhattan

Crochet is the process of using a hook to pull loops through other loops to create fabric.  Each stitch can be conceived of as a pixel or building block; the variation of size and number of stitches lending a distinct three-dimensional form.  Only one stitch is dealt with at a time, making it easy to adjust along the way and experiment without a formal pattern. In this workshop you will learn to use the basic building blocks of crochet-- chaining, single crochet, and double crochet-- to create various three-dimensional shapes and sculptures of your choosing.  No experience with crochet is necessary and all levels are welcome.  Come with a project in mind or simply a desire to play and improvise.

Every off off Broadway experimental show should be calling this talented woman who makes beautiful, conceptual clothing that’s simple." -Joseph Samuel Wright, Theater is Easy
