Crochet in 3D with Alex Falkiner

Overview

Crochet is good for all sorts of stuff. You can fix animals up. You can yarn bomb. You can hook together a practical model designed to help you understand the complex mathematics involved in a hyperbolic plane. At Crochet in 3D, Alex Falkiner wants to teach you how to use this traditional craft to create some physical things as well.

3D crochet makes objects out of whorls of plastic bags, string or anything. In her own art, Falkiner has drawn organic shape from loose silk, ribbon or confetti. And while there'll be plenty of thread on hand at the workshop, she encourages participants to bring strange stuff of their own to work the craft on. If you're into the maker movement, but would rather just do the making out of old fashioned tech, this may just be your moment.
