Learn basic stitches using large, wooden crochet hooks, to build layers using different yarns.  The technique can be used to make garments or wall hangings etc.  Creative crochet is about making the most of the basic principles by combining interesting and unusual fibres, as the fancy takes you.  So, whether you are new to crochet or already have the basic skills, we can still explore them further.

12mm wooden crochet hooks and a mixture of yarns will be provided at a cost of £5.00 per student.  Bring any other yarns / fibres that you may wish to use.
