During this hands-on workshop, participants will be introduced to the fundamentals of crochet, including how to make basic stitches, read a simple crochet pattern, and use these skills to create their very own handmade pumpkin.

This session is designed for beginners, so no prior experience is necessary. Materials needed to complete the pumpkin will be supplied on the day, along with extra yarn to practice different stitches and build confidence.

The workshop offers a relaxed and supportive environment where creativity and learning are encouraged. It will be led by Helen Whiteley, a self-taught fibre artist with over a decade of experience in crocheting, knitting, weaving, spinning, and other crafts.

This event is part of Newbridge Samhain Festival 2025.
