March cannot come soon enough for many reasons. First, the weather, but mostly because I'll be teaching some interesting workshops this spring at Somerville Skillshare, The Eliot School in Jamaica Plain and Five Crows Gallery in Natick.

SCULPTURAL CROCHET

Combine traditional crochet with unconventional materials, transforming fiber and raw materials into evocative sculptural constructions. Explore the anatomy of the stitch, its actions, character and dimensions, in the creation of forms and textured surfaces. Play with scale, using materials from wire to plastic to wool, and looking at work by fiber artists in the process. You will use adaptations of several different genres of crochet in this class.
