Art Social at Pine Rivers Art Gallery – Punch Needling

Can’t quite get the hang of crochet? Give punch needling a go! In this 90-minute session, be introduced to the basic elements of punch needle techniques and get started making your own mini hoop design. Punch needle is a style of hand embroidery, using a special hollow needle tool that creates fluffy loops of lush yarn. Take some time out for yourself and try out a new hobby in a relaxed and welcoming environment.

Note: depending on the size and intricacy of your design, you may not complete your hoop during this session. We encourage you to consider picking up some second-hand yarn to continue your new skill at home.

Art Social is a monthly program designed to create a warm and welcoming environment for creativity. Sit down with a cuppa, and enjoy the process of making with assistance from the gallery team to support your artistic experimentation.

Each month, these relaxed sessions will explore a different medium, process, or method of artmaking, with links to current exhibitions.

No prior experience is required. All materials are provided unless otherwise stated.
