Rag Rug Workshop
Sunday 9th April 2017 (Lopdell House)
1-4pm
Re-purpose those old fabric scraps into a fabulous crochet rag rug in this fun workshop. In this class you'll learn tips on creating and joining the fabric strips and a crochet method for constructing your rag rug. Be prepared to roll up your sleeves & have fun with scissors and hooks!
A large hook (for you to keep), the pattern and some fabric will be provided & if you have a particular colour combination in mind it might pay to hit the op shops before the class. Look out for old sheets, duvet covers & fabric scraps. Choose light weight cotton fabrics - the larger the better! Clothing can be used as well, though it will be more fiddly to turn into strips.
As usual there'll be tea/coffee and something yummy to eat as well.
Beginners welcome!

Ropey Rainbow Basket (small) Workshop
Sunday 23rd April 2017
1-4pm
In this class you'll learn to crochet your very own crochet basket. Using rope, these baskets are sturdy, yet soft and great for storing all sorts of things!
As a large basket takes around 10 hours to make, this class will focus on making a smaller basket so that all the essentials can be practised ~ how to start, working the base, turning the sides, fashioning the handles...
Quality Rico Essentials cottons will be used to make the baskets & a range of bright colours will be available for you to choose from.
Basic crochet skills are required ~ a great place to brush up on the basics is over on the Moogly blog (the Magic circle, sc, hdc and crocheting in the back loop (BLO) are good to know for this class).
All you need to bring is yourself and a 5mm hook ~ the pattern and all other materials are provided and there will be tea/coffee & something yummy to eat as well!
Classes are $45 per person & spaces are limited.

Hoop Mandalas - Summer School Session
Saturday 14th January
10 - 4pm
Come along and kick off the new year with a bang at this special Summer School session at the Norfolk Street Workshop.
In this longer 6 hour class we'll be taking inspiration from the lovely Lucy of Attic24 to create our own magnificent hoop mandalas. Featured as part of the display at this year's Yarndale in the UK, Lucy and friends contributed a collection of hoop mandalas that looked amazing as they hung in the trees. These mandala look fabulous displayed indoors or out. Choose to make a statement by hanging your mandala on a wall at your place, or add colour and movement to your garden by suspending it from a tree outside.

All materials will be provided including a large range of coloured acrylic yarn (it lasts the best outdoors without rotting or fading), a steel hoop, patterns, and some yummy treats for morning & afternoon tea!
Basic crochet skills are required to be able to make the most of this class ~ a great place to brush up on the basics is over on the Moogly blog.
Mandala patterns will be available to suit a range of abilities, from people new to crochet as well as a few more challenging designs for those wanting to learn some new techniques.
All you need to bring is yourself, some lunch, and a 5mm hook.
