Crocheting The Living Botanicals

Inspired by Living Botanicals, this hands-on workshop invites participants to slow down and observe the colours, textures and changing forms of plants before translating these observations into crochet. Beginning with a guided exploration of the exhibition, participants will learn beginner-friendly crochet techniques to create cascading wisteria blossoms and intertwining vines.

Through the slow, repetitive act of stitching, the workshop explores ideas of growth, seasonality and transformation. Individual creations will come together as a collaborative installation, reflecting the exhibition’s themes while celebrating collective making, close observation and the many ways craft can deepen our engagement with the natural world.
