Miniature Crocheted Jewelry Workshop in February!

Hi Everyone! I'm teaching another workshop this semester at OCAC called Crocheted Jewelry. Details are below. I hope to see you all there!

Crocheted Jewelry

FT702 • FEB 19 (1 session); SAT 9:00AM-4:00PM TUITION RECEIVED ON OR BEFORE 2/9: $75 TUITION RECEIVED AFTER 2/9: $95 STUDIO FEE $5

Learn to create stunning and delicate crocheted jewelry in this one-day workshop. Students will develop their crocheting skills by working on a miniature scale. The details created with these tiny stitches are irresistible and lend themselves well to the jewelry-scale embellishments. Great gift idea! Prerequisite: Basic crocheting skills. Location: Construction Studio

SARAH LABARRE, INSTRUCTOR

Sarah LaBarre is an artist whose work is informed by the language of painting, but uses a vocabulary appropriated from traditional fiber techniques and media. She draws upon histori- cal decorative and textile designs combining these blueprints with soft reflective portraiture. A graduate of OCAC, Sarah is now a practicing fiber artist who has exhibited nationally.

This intensive two-day workshop exploresfree-motion embroidery and layering techniques using Solvy to create beautiful and unique pieces of art. Students begin by experimenting
and creating samples to use as a starting point. Each student will create a project of their own design. Projects could include a three-dimensional embellishment for a garment, a piece of
fiber jewelry or a stand-alone piece of art. Students of all levels interested in broadening their
range of fiber techniques are bound to enjoy learning about the magic of Solvy! Prerequisite:
