Fiber Art Class at GAC

Cut up old clothes, wiggle strips onto a special crochet needle, then crochet chain stitches of twine to make glorious textiles. Easier than braiding and faster than hooking, Shirret Crochet costs almost nothing to do. Shirret (rhymes with hurray) brings years of creative pleasure and a good way to recycle fabrics. “Shirret” them into thick, luxurious, small carpets. With two stitches, a special rug hook, twine, and fabric scraps, you can make jewel-like quilt pieces, berets, rugs, cozies, pillows, dog coats, and home decor. Beginner samplers are accomplished in class. Prerequisite: Chain stitch and double crochet stitch fluently. If you haven't crocheted recently and need a warm-up, consider registering for the Painterly Contemporary Crochet class on October 6th.
