This immersive class invites artists to explore crochet as a sculptural language. Moving beyond flat textiles, we’ll delve into the creation of dimensional forms by combining traditional crochet techniques with internal armatures. The result: stable, expressive, and visually striking fiber sculptures.
Topics covered include:
Designing and constructing internal wire armatures
Translating conceptual ideas into three-dimensional crochet forms
Exploring surface texture, tension, and stitch shaping for sculptural impact
Integrating mixed media, if desired
Finishing and display strategies for fiber-based sculpture
Whether you work in soft sculpture, installation, or are simply seeking a new direction in your practice, this class offers both technical foundation and space for creative exploration. Prior crochet experience is required (comfort with single crochet and basic shaping assumed).
Ideal for: Artists and makers interested in fiber art, soft sculpture, or mixed media who want to expand their material vocabulary.
