Do you know a little bit about crochet but are bored with the limitations of flat surfaces? Take Sculptural Crochet and learn how to build spaces and forms in 3D!! Through this 4-session class where instead of focusing on an end product we focus on how taking risks and giving ourselves the freedom to "just play" opens up possibilities in our creative practice.


 
 
 

 

 

 

 

 

REVIEWS

"There are, however, minimal but imaginative costumes, ... by Candice Thompson" -Roslyn Sulcas, The New York Times

"kudos to Candice Thompson; her costume design is an inspiration of what can still be accomplished visually and functionally on a small budget. 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

"The designer outdid herself here, with sleeveless/backless mossy green tops billowing out into sheer knee-length pantaloons in the same hue." -Phillip Gardner, Oberon's Grove

 "Kudos as well to Candice Thompson for her simple, sexy, elegant costumes." -Tonya Plank, Swan Lake Samba Girl Blog
