About the class: What better way to celebrate spooky season? In this class, you will be crocheting a form of an amigurumi head, then delving deeper into sculpture and engineering to create pop-out eyes for added spookiness, using the instructor's own developed design. To best enjoy this session, you will need to know basic crochet and be brave enough to cut into it. See material list below. Materials to bring to class: one skein of white, light green, light gray, or light brown Red Heart or Caron worsted yarn (basic acrylic, not Caron Simply Soft or anything with a soft drape) one skein each of black and red yarn, same kind as previous one skein of yarn of student’s choice for hair. This pretty much can be anything as long as it can be sewn in small bag of loose Polyfil, not felted sheeting size G hook yarn needle

Crochet Zombie Heads with Amanda Blanchard is a hands-on, four-hour crafting workshop for adults held at the Eno Arts Mill in Hillsborough. Participants will learn how to construct a textured amigurumi head and use specialized structural techniques to create realistic, pop-out eyes. This class is designed for individuals aged 18 and older who already know basic crochet stitches. Registration costs $100, and you must bring your own supplies, including worsted weight acrylic yarn in zombie skin tones, red, black, and a hair color of your choice, along with a size G hook, a yarn needle, and a small bag of Polyfil stuffing. Free parking is available on-site at the Eno Arts Mill. It makes a fantastic weekend outing because it offers a quiet, creative break from the usual Halloween chaos. You will leave with a finished seasonal project and new sculptural skills that you can apply to future fiber arts crafts at home.
