AMIGURUMI: Creating with Crochet 2-Day
$95
Wednesdays 11/12 & 11/19 | 6pm - 8pm (No makeup dates)
Ready to embrace crochet as a 3D design tool? This 2-Day workshop teaches the basics of amigurumi creation, allowing students to explore the construction of 3D (fiber-filled) projects, whether for artistic purposes or to create adorable stuffed animals that delight children and adults alike!
This hands-on workshop is perfect for beginners, intermediate, and experienced crocheters, as it will cover basic techniques needed for amigurumi creation (magic ring, single crochet, increases and decreases), as well as the entire creative process, from conceiving the shapes, to stuffing, simple sewing and finishing techniques.
What is Amigurumi?
Amigurumi is a Japanese word for the art of crocheting stuffed creatures. This technique allows you to determine volume and create shapes for the body parts (e.g., head, arms, and legs). A cute amigurumi comes to life when you sew all the parts together to complete your masterpiece.
If you've ever crocheted or want to learn, this is a great opportunity to explore a 3D project! Creating amigurumi is truly therapeutic!
By the end of the course, you'll be finishing your handmade crochet plushie based on a beginner-friendly amigurumi pattern, and taking it home with lots of inspiration to start creating your own cuddly creatures!
Students must bring: Yarn any color, 2oz, (suggested Gauge 4* Medium/10 Ply, #4–Worsted, Aran), Notebook and Pencil.
All materials including stuffing, crochet hooks, and needles for finishes will be provided by the instructor.
