Not Your Granny's Crochet Squares
Join us for a modern take on the ‘granny square’! You’ll fashion classic crochet building blocks that form the foundation for handbags, headbands, place mats and blankets!
You’ll learn to crochet in the round, create lace techniques, use new crochet stitches, plus learn techniques to attach two or more pieces of crochet. Choose from 4-5 different patterns then take away instructions so you can continue hooking at home! All materials provided, including hook and assorted yarns.
PLEASE NOTE: This is not an absolute beginner’s workshop. You should be able to create a simple chain and double crochet before coming to class. We do not teach the basic stitches in this workshop. To learn them, try our Crocheted Fashion Accessories class.

Hand-carved stamps, cards & tags
Ever stuck for the perfect greeting card? Now you can carve your own stamps, then put them to use to create handmade cards and gift tags or jazz up plain wrapping paper! You’ll create one or two stamps of your own design, take away a stack of cards and gift tags, and leave with the skills to make more at home.
All materials provided, including rubber carving compound, wood to mount your stamps for easy use, plenty of paper for cards and gift tags, an instruction sheet to take away plus use of all specialist tools, glues and pigment inks during the workshop.

Crochet fashion accessories
Crochet is the new knitting! In this two-part beginner’s workshop, you’ll learn basic crochet stitches to create colorful flowers and necklaces. (Wear your flowers as corsages, pin them on handbags or even attach them to hair clips!)
In the first session, we’ll teach you to create a chain, a slipped stitch and double crochet to fashion basic flowers. In the second session, you’ll learn half and full treble stitches to make a more formal, stylised flower and get a start on a lovely crocheted sphere necklace.
NOTE: Be prepared do to a bit of homework between the two sessions to help the new techniques become second nature to you!
All materials provided, including a wide selection of wool, a crochet hook and various embellishments, plus take-home patterns and instructions. No previous crochet experience needed.
NOTE: Want to learn more? This class serves as a prerequisite to our Super Cool Crochet Squares and Crochet Amigurumi Toys workshops.
