About this workshop:
The use of crochet in jewelry opens the way to forms of aesthetic expression of great beauty and originality. It can be used to integrate in jewelry pieces elements worked in non-metallic wire (e.g., cotton, silk, linen, raffia), or using crochet techniques in metallic wire, such as silver or copper. The techniques in non-metallic and metallic wire are similar, sharing the basic logic, but have some differences that are necessary to know and master.
No requirements or experience required.
