Freeform Crochet Workshop

£35.00
Limit 4 per order

Ditch the patterns, forget the stitch counting, and throw out the rule book!

Join this freeform crochet workshop in London and step into a playful, pattern-free world where your crochet hook is your paintbrush and yarn is your paint. If you've ever felt restricted by strict crafting rules or stressed by the thought of counting every single loop, this session offers a refreshing, low-pressure escape. It's a relaxing space where anything goes, and happy accidents are celebrated as brand-new techniques.

You'll discover how to intuitively mix colours, textures, and stitch types to create scrumbles – the unique, abstract, and beautifully irregular fabric building blocks that form the foundation of freeform fibre art. If you're new to crafting or find traditional guides daunting, you'll fit right in as this experience is perfect for first-timers and designed to eliminate any creative anxiety.

Whether your finished piece evolves into wearable art like a scarf, top, or jacket patch, a textured cushion, or a standalone piece of abstract wall art, this session will completely reshape the way you approach crafting. You'll walk away with an eye-opening new hobby and a gorgeous, personalised masterpiece that is entirely your own.

Please note: Everyone crochets at different speeds; you should be able to leave with a completed or almost completed scrumble, depending on your desired size.
