Thursday 27 June, 10.30 am – 3.30 pm

Crochet 

Let your imagination, and your fingers, run wild in this creative workshop exploring the function and fantasy of free form crochet.  The traditions of this craft have been re-invented and crochet is now hyperbolic and hyper stylish, so come and get carried away.  Some knowledge of crochet techniques would be helpful, although the basics will be covered in the workshop.  Led by Sue Maton.
