Getting Hooked: Crochet for Beginners with Sharleen Greer, Tuesday 12 August
Sold out.
Join us on Tuesday 12 August, from 2:00pm-4:00pm in the Strand Arcade for Getting Hooked: Crochet for Beginners with Sharleen Greer.
Maximum 10 participants - register by adding to cart and checking out, workshop is free but spots are limited so booking is essential!
In this two-hour workshop, you will learn the basic stitches for crocheting and will make a flower that you will want to pin to your coat and wear out. When you have achieved that, we will start on a granny square, but beware, they are addictive!
No experience is needed for the workshop, and even if you have attempted to crochet before, you will learn some tricks of the trade that set you up for a future in creative making with yarn.
About Sharleen Greer
In her community, Sharleen is known as the Crochet Queen for her successful and fun workshops. Her love of crochet started in the seventies when she made crochet waistcoats that are now labelled vintage. Her passion for crochet was reignited in her forties when she attended a workshop on Contemporary Craft. Everyone was knitting and crocheting. Wool was hardly featured with string, rags, paper, wire, and anything else that could form a piece of fabric, being used.
Sharleen specialises in freeform knitting and crocheting and has been a contestant in the World of Wearable Art Awards. She has a passion for finding ways to use the Granny Square in fashionable ways.
