• First class is 20 euro pp (this is when you receive your mesh canvas, which is yours to keep)
• Returning members pay 15/class
  
  > price includes all materials and unlimited herbal tea
  > when you purchase a ticket, it is valid for the following Thursday's club meeting.
  

What is latch hooking?

Latch hooking is a simple, repetitive motion craft that involves using a latch hook (similar looking to a crochet hook), a mesh canvas, and small lengths of fibre. You can create all kinds of designs—functional and beautiful—like wall hangings, rugs, and cushion covers.

The effect of pulling the short fibres through the mesh canvas creates a shaggy look, which can ultimately be trimmed to your desired length.

The ethos of latch hooking club

Over years of running pacie grews, I've worked hard to maintain close-to-zero-waste efforts. Part of this journey has involved saving every scrap of fibres, every single offcut from each project, and keeping them to be used for other purposes.

When fibres get too small to knot, what is there to do? Enter latch hooking, stage right.

Latch hooking allows us to use some of the smallest fibres to create cool, functional, and fun pieces of art. Not only are these workshops a space for you to learn a new craft and make an awesome work of art for your home, they're also a container for us to think creatively about materials that too often get deemed as 'waste'.

Latch hooking club: practical details

Latch Hooking Club is a regular series of workshops in CoreCreative, Bantry.

During your first class, you'll be given your own mesh canvas, which will serve as the basis of your project. You'll also receive beginner-level instruction on the fundamental techniques of latch hooking, which you will then have the scope to independently practice and master over time.

In each club session, you'll gain access to all of the other materials you'll need: scissors, latch hooks, and of course, tons of colourful fibre.
