Discover the art of crochet in a creative workshop in the heart of Saly, a seaside resort known for its warm atmosphere, artisan markets, and vibrant energy. Suitable for all skill levels, this workshop introduces you to the basics of crochet: handling the yarn, working your first stitches, and creating a small decorative piece. The experience is relaxing, social, and a perfect way to explore a thriving textile craft in Senegal.
The workshop begins with a presentation of materials and techniques:
- Cotton or natural fiber yarns,
- Crochet hooks of different sizes,
- A selection of colors inspired by the fabrics of the Petite Côte,
- Learning basic stitches: chain stitch, single crochet, double crochet, half double crochet.
Next, you will watch a practical demonstration:
- Holding the hook and controlling yarn tension,
- Working the first rows,
- Creating simple shapes (flowers, squares, spirals, strips),
- Changing colors or adding decorative details,
- Finishing techniques and proper tightening.
Then comes the personal creation:
- Coaster, mini pouch, decorative square, floral motif, or small geometric shape: each participant chooses a project suitable for half a day.
- The relaxed atmosphere of Saly encourages creativity, sharing, and progress at your own pace.
At the end of the session, you leave with your crocheted creation, a handmade artisanal keepsake.
