New Workshops

  There are four workshops planned for January:

The first one, which will take place on Friday, January 4, at 9:00am, is a Crochet Sculpting workshop, in which I am going to teach the unique techniques I have learned and developed over time to use crochet as a sculptural medium. I will teach the basics and principles, as well as the process I use in my own work. I will demonstrate how to use crochet in a freehanded and creative manner. As part of the workshop, each participant will crochet an original piece of their own design.

The second one is the  two-session traditional sock doll workshop, on Friday January 11 and on Friday January 18 In this workshop I teach the creating of my anthropomorphic sock dolls, including details like  facial features, expressions, garments and accessories. you can see the dolls I have created using this technique at the past few years here.

The third one is the embroidery portrait workshop which will take place on Friday, January 25, is an embroidery portrait workshop, which deals with the subject I am very curious about lately: the combination of personal images and embroidery. This workshop teaches the process of transforming photography into embroidery and discusses its meanings, and also presents contemporary artists who use this combination in their work.

November Workshops

Time passes so quickly and once again I find myself preparing a workshop list for next month. There are four workshops planned for November:

 

The first one, which will take place on Friday, November 9, is an embroidery portrait workshop. This marks the fourth time I will have conducted this workshop. Each time, I find it extremely interesting to see how the same subject is handled so diversely by different participants. On the other hand, it is only natural, since the participants work on images that are very close to their hearts - portraits of themselves or of loved ones.

The second workshop, which will take place on Friday, November 16, is for crocheting bean bag chairs (pouffes) using upcycled jersey yarn. It is a very enjoyable workshop, which I decided to conduct following requests I received from people who attended my other workshops and noticed the two chairs in the photo at my studio. I crocheted them several months ago, while I was busy with another project that required a lot of concentration. Every time I felt too stressed, I crocheted a few more rounds. Then I could keep working on the other project. By the time the other project was completed, I had two chairs and a rug.

The third workshop is the one I am most excited about, and I will dedicate a whole post to it in the next few days. It is a guest workshop conducted by Yonit Cristal, who describes herself as a preservationist of traditional crafts (until I write my post, I recommend you visit her website or read this article, if you can’t read Hebrew). At this workshop, she will teach a unique weaving technique using the base of a palm frond.

My fourth workshop is an Open Studio, on Friday, November 30.
