Explore the art of constructed textiles and experiment with a range of macramé, crochet and hand-knitting techniques. This two day taster course will introduce these three processes as well as allowing you to explore a variety of materials and produce a series of final samples. You will be encouraged to explore sustainable and recycled yarn initiatives and suppliers.
Students will learn through observing tutor demonstration followed by practical experience supported by access to tutorial videos and technical hand outs. There will be an emphasis on sharing knowledge and experience through discussion, show and tell and group critique.
