Break away from flat fabric and discover how crochet can hold its own shape. This hands-on workshop explores freeform crochet using rope as a bold structural element, guided by acclaimed designer Leah Oliver.

You’ll learn how to choose the right rope and yarn combinations, integrate rope seamlessly into your work, and build form, texture, and space without relying on patterns. Designed for curious intermediate crocheters, the session balances technical grounding with creative freedom.

Participants leave with a sculptural foundation piece, practical confidence, and adaptable techniques suitable for garments, accessories, homewares, and more.
