My three day tapestry crochet workshop (August 26-28, 2023) at Touchstone Center for Crafts in Farmington, PA, is already open for registration! We’ll do the above projects, one each day. I’ll also teach how to design motifs with three different tapestry crochet graph papers, use a bead spinner to thread beads onto yarn, and block projects with a steam iron.
A large hook, two wool yarns (one beaded), and loose single crochet stitches will be used to tapestry crochet the flat bead felted bag on Saturday.
A cylindrical beaded basket will be tapestry crocheted with a smaller hook, beaded cotton threads, and tighter stitches on Sunday. Each thread will be loaded with one bead color, eliminating the need to load the beads in a specific color sequence ahead of time! The motif is formed on one side of the fabric by adding a bead to each stitch and on the other side the colored threads echo the image.
Flat tapestry crochet will be the focus on Monday. Unlike traditional crochet, flat tapestry crochet does not show the back of the stitches on every other row.
It will be lots of fun and learning, too! I hope to see you there!
