Crochet your own beautiful table mats under the expert tutelage of Carole Rennison.
You will be using a 12mm crochet hook and two strands of carpet yarn (a cream yarn and a charcoal yarn) held together, and working in the round. The stitch you will be using is a treble crochet and simple counting is involved – to ensure you achieve a perfect circle!
These do crochet up quite quickly, so if you’re quick-handed you may be able to make all six in the day. If not never fear as you will have the yarn to take home to finish off the set.
Each mat measures approximately 11 inches / 28 cms
Included in the day:
The Scandi Inspired table mat pattern
12mm crochet hook
Enough of the cream and charcoal yarn to complete a set of six mats
Please note: Participants should have a knowledge of how to do basic crochet
Please note there is a £20 material charge payable on the workshop day.
What to expect
Time at ArtisOn is designed to take you away from it all. We provide the environment, the time and the guidance you need to create. You can expect a warm welcome, skilled and friendly tutors and the chance to meet like-minded people keen to share ideas. You can even leave us to clear up the mess! There will usually be two workshops going on and we encourage everyone to mingle and be nosey about what the other workshop is up to.
We encourage you to arrive at 9.30am. This will allow time to meet other participants over a cup of tea or coffee and biscuits before beginning workshops at 10am. There will be a mid-morning break for refreshments and a chance to talk over progress with others. Lunch is usually around 12:45 for about 45 mins – you can expect a delicious homemade 2 course lunch. There will be a further afternoon break with tea or coffee and cake. All food and refreshments are included in the price of your workshop.
The finish time given is a target. There are occasions when the session may overrun so do let us know if you need to be away promptly.
We aim for your day to be a real treat. You could always learn a new skill in a shed or a draughty village hall with a curly sandwich, but we want you to have more fun than that! So we make sure we provide a day where you will be looked after, with good food, good company and great inspiration!
