The Art of Crochet: forms in bloom

The Art of Crochet: forms in bloom

6:00 pm  @ WPÜ GALLERY SHINJUKU
Workshop

This spring-themed workshop introduces the foundations of crochet through the lens of renewal and emergence. As we learn the basic stitches and explore simple free-form techniques, participants will be invited to create a small handmade piece combined with natural materials, inspired by the softness and subtle growth of the season — a form that unfolds slowly, stitch by stitch.

Spring is a time of gentle beginnings. Through the rhythm of yarn and repetition, we’ll explore how small movements build into shape and structure, echoing the quiet transformation happening in nature around us. The focus is not on perfection, but on allowing something to bloom through your hands.

No crochet experience needed.
All materials provided.
