Adult & Child Beginner: Crochet Workshops

ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP:

These sessions are especially designed ONLY for a pair to attend together - one Adult (18+) PLUS one child (please see further details on booking page).  The price for the sessions is PER PAIR.

In Session ONE you will learn all the basic skills, including: 

• how to hold the yarn and hook; 

• chain, double crochet, treble crochet, turn, edge; 

• PLUS slip stitch, half treble crochet and double treble crochet (if time allows) 

Nicky will run Session TWO to consolidate the basic skills and techniques you will have learnt in Session ONE and you will learn to follow a simple pattern to make your first project eg. a mini amigurumi.   This second session is recommended, but optional - please see more details on Nicky's booking page

ABOUT THE TUTOR:

Nicky recently featured in Simply Crochet magazine and am also an Ambassador for Craftember (an initiative to get people crafting to improve mental health). Nicky has a background in graphic design and have always been compelled to craft;  taught to crochet (& knit) by her grandmother when she was young, and found a new purpose for her hobby when she discovered recycled yarns, in particular T-shirt yarn - Nicky started by making her own.
