Tunisian Lace Crochet - Full Day Workshop with Aoibhe Ni
Saturday, 25 May 2013 10am - 5pm
- This event is fully booked, but you can add yourself to the waiting list.
An all-day workshop with innovative Irish designer, Aoibhe Ni, creator and pioneer of an exciting new tunisian lace technique.
Skill level:
Grounded and comfortable with the basics of crochet, and a general ability to read patterns.
Learn first hand how to make Aoibhe's distinctive shawls, get insights into her unique design methods and be inspired to create light and airy lace from delecate fibres like silk, cashmere and merino.
The class will cover all the basic techniques that Aoibhe uses (including chart reading) with her design, 'Pax' as a basis. You will then learn more advanced techniques like the nupps in her 'Argo' pattern and the fans used in 'Venus'.
Materials required
A 5mm crochet hook (without a handle) and a 50g ball of DK weight yarn.
Please bring a notebook and pen.
Notes and teaching examples will be provided.
Please also bring a small piece of crochet, ideally a few lines of double-crochet, approx 15 stitches across.
This piece will form the basis for the very first exercise on the day and so must be completed prior to the start of the class.
