Knit Anything.

Develop a personal language of forms by experimenting with knitting fundamentals to uncover the enormous possibilities of a three-dimensional knit. By manipulating stitches and solving knitting geometry, participants will learn to “think knit.” The class will explore the use of non-traditional materials and cover a range of techniques to help create shape and stability when working in three dimensions. Your new knitting vocabulary can be applied to sculptural or wearable creations. This is a process-oriented workshop, with time devoted to making samples and experiments as you learn each technique or concept. Participants must be proficient in basic knitting techniques; knowledge of crochet is also helpful.
