Mosaic Crochet Workshop with Eleonora from Coastal Crochet
Description
Learn a new crochet technique! Mosaic crochet is a little like magic! The patterns created can look amazing, colourful and complex but only one colour is used at any one time across the rows and the stitches used are only a combination of double crochet, trebles and chains… it’s surprisingly simple and easier than it looks. There are two popular ways to create mosaic crochet – ‘Overlay’ and ‘Inset’. In this workshop, Eleonora will teach both these techniques and a small mosaic sample will be created which can then be used as a coaster afterwards. You will need to be able to crochet to take part in this workshop, if you can't you still have time to book on to our beginners class. - What to bring: You don't need to bring anything. Yarn and hooks will be available to use on the day. But you are welcome to bring your own hook and yarn with you. - What you leave with: A sample swatch of mosaic crochet which can be used as a coaster. - Your tutor - Eleonora Tully: Eleonora is a Crochet Designer and hugely experienced crocheter who lives by the sea on the south east coast of England. Eleonora incorporates a wide variety of techniques and styles into her crochet designs, often drawing inspiration from the coastline and sea where she lives. As well as creating her own exclusive crochet patterns, Eleonora has had numerous designs published in UK crochet magazines, worked with various companies in the yarn industry and regularly teaches others and hosts workshops.

Hi, we're Kate and Martin McCully, the husband and wife duo behind Maker Studio. With backgrounds in design, craft, and creative direction, we created this space to be a colourful hub for the local community. I’m Kate, an award-winning crochet designer and author of Crochet at Work and the person behind Make Me Roar. You might’ve even seen me win Kirstie’s Handmade Christmas on Channel 4 with my hand-stitched reindeer, Ruben. At Maker Studio, you’ll find a curated mix of modern craft supplies, tools and kits, from yarn by Rico and Stylecraft to gorgeous embroidery threads and kits from brilliant UK makers like Cotton Twist, The Left Hookery, and more. My own crochet kits are all designed here in Eastbourne and are on the shelves too. We don’t just sell supplies we host weekly workshops in everything from beginner crochet and lino printing to creative writing and still life drawing. There are evening and weekend sessions, as well as family-friendly activities and holiday clubs for kids.

Pop in for a drink, work on a project or try one of our quick Make and Take crafts. Every Thursday, we host a free Meet and Make – a laid-back session for local crafters to get together, share ideas and get making. Come in, have a coffee and make something. We’d love to see you.
