Freeform Crochet Workshop

Ditch the patterns, forget the stitch counting, and throw out the rule book!



2 hours Class size 1 to 4 guests       £35 (PayPal Pay in 3 available)

Join this freeform crochet workshop in London and step into a playful, pattern-free world where your crochet hook is your paintbrush and yarn is your paint. If you've ever felt restricted by strict crafting rules or stressed by the thought of counting every single loop, this session offers a refreshing, low-pressure escape. It's a relaxing space where anything goes, and happy accidents are celebrated as brand-new techniques.
You'll discover how to intuitively mix colours, textures, and stitch types to create scrumbles – the unique, abstract, and beautifully irregular fabric building blocks that form the foundation of freeform fibre art. If you're new to crafting or find traditional guides daunting, you'll fit right in as this experience is perfect for first-timers and designed to eliminate any creative anxiety.
Here's why you'll love it:
  • Zero mistakes – Embrace ripples, bubbles, and new textures as part of your design.
  • No stressful counting – Say goodbye to counting stitches and chasing perfect symmetry.
  • Pure intuition – Experience a meditative process that focuses on the joy of making rather than perfecting a rigid outcome.
What you'll learn and do:
  • How to let your fabric grow organically.
  • Create abstract patches (scrumbles) by intuitively switching stitches, colours, and directions.
  • Mix materials to create fun textures and make your work pop.
  • Arrange, piece together, and join your scrumbles using a tapestry needle or hook.
Whether your finished piece evolves into wearable art like a scarf, top, or jacket patch, a textured cushion, or a standalone piece of abstract wall art, this session will completely reshape the way you approach crafting. You'll walk away with an eye-opening new hobby and a gorgeous, personalised masterpiece that is entirely your own.
Please note: Everyone crochets at different speeds; you should be able to leave with a completed or almost completed scrumble, depending on your desired size.
What you'll get
  • Everyone crochets at different speeds; you should be able to leave with a completed or almost completed scrumble, depending on your desired size.
  • The freeform crochet handout for step-by-step guidance post-workshop.

Hi, I am Chantal. An artist from Canada, based in London, England.
I believe that creativity is an important, yet often overlooked, element of wellness and self-development. I often combine creative workshops with meditation, presence and intuitive practices.
I offer a range of creative classes, from intuitive painting to Freeform crochet, that encourage you to follow your intuition and provide a safe space to get playful and experimental with your creations.
Come and play in a studio that believes all accidents are new techniques in the making and all mark-making is a mirror of our inner universe.
I love all forms of creativity and, through these classes, encourage people to find and grow their passion and live their most inspired lives.
Classes are available in person and online.
