Crochet Coral Club

Welcome to the Crochet Coral Club!

Starting in January 2025, OPAL invites the community to monthly meet-ups to create coral shaped forms out of crocheted plastic. The meetings are free to attend, just sign up on this so we know you are coming.

No experience necessary. Come learn crochet
The meetings will be a time to learn techniques as well as facts about plastic impacts on the environment and to commune with fellow artists and help build something bigger. The goal of the project is to create numerous and varied coral forms and install them as a focal point in our July exhibit, SPIRALING, which is an eco-art themed show inviting artists to upcycle materials, particularly plastics. Patterns to work from and coaching support will be offered at the meetings

Opportunities for kids to learn crochet and fiber techniques will be offered through our twice monthly Family Starts program and they can add to the installation as well.

Mark your calendar for our monthly meet-ups
on 3rd Sundays 1-3pm.

We'll have patterns available, or feel free to work on your own design. Don't worry if you get stuck - our experienced members are always happy to help out.

Let's crochet, chat, and create beautiful coral-inspired pieces together. See you there!
