BIKINI WORKSHOP – THE CROCHET/KNITTING PROJECT FOR THE POOL — With textile designer Valerie Ehrenbold

Wednesday 14. May at 14:00 - 17:00

MAISON SHIFT – 1st Floor / Metal Stairs, Zürich

In this workshop, you can design and create your own bikini. You will develop your project step by step with guidance.

Together, we will choose the material and pattern, and you will decide whether to crochet or knit your bikini set, complement it with fabric scraps, or mix techniques. You will receive an introduction to the essential techniques and tips to successfully complete your project. You will learn tricks on how to take your measurements correctly and make individual adjustments.

Depending on your pace, you will progress to different stages – but don't worry. By the end of the workshop, you will have an almost finished piece in your hands and will have all the necessary skills and tools to complete it independently. After the course, you will not only be able to finish your bikini project, but you will also feel confident tackling new crochet and knitting projects and applying what you've learned.

Valerie Ehrenbold is a textile designer and costume designer with a special focus on sustainable design. In her work, she delves deeply into the effects of color, the texture of textiles, and the creative use of different materials. A central aspect of her artistic practice is the conscious use of scrap and second-hand materials, as well as bringing traditional craft techniques into a modern, sustainable form.

Bring along: If available, bring a bikini or underwear that fits well. Basic crochet knowledge required.
