Take your crochet skills to the next level, and join us for a fun and inspiring Amigurumi Crochet Workshop with friendly expert instructor Cynthia! Over the course of the weekend, you’ll dive into the charming art of Amigurumi – the increasingly popular Japanese craft of crocheting small, stuffed creatures. This class is the perfect next step if you have completed one of our beginners workshops.
In this hands-on workshop, we’ll focus on creating an adorable, customisable teddy bear. We’ll start with a refresher on pattern reading and the magic circle technique, then you’ll work at your own pace, bringing your teddy to life with your choice of cotton yarn and personalised decorations. Throughout the session, Cynthia will provide step-by-step guidance, expert tips, and plenty of encouragement, helping you build confidence in your crochet skills while enjoying the process of creating something truly unique.
This workshop is perfect for improvers who have completed a beginner course and feel comfortable with a crochet hook, or for anyone eager to enhance their skills in a friendly, supportive, and creative group setting.
Come stitch, socialize, and leave with a handmade teddy bear and new Amigurumi skills to treasure!
