Cecilia Campochiaro is coming to Flagstaff! For Cecelia Campochiaro, knitting was a causal pastime until she had an ah-ha moment in 2010 and realized that interesting textured fabrics could be created by the simple repetition of a sequence of stitches. This idea continued to evolve and Cecelia appeared on the knitting scene in 2015 with her debut book, Sequence Knitting, a beautiful reference book about a mindful approach to knitting. In the years since Sequence Knitting debuted, Cecelia has continued to develop new ideas in knitting. Sequence Knitting focuses on texture, and her new book, Making Marls, is about color. In Making Marls, the technique of working multiple strands together as one is explored as a way to create color work in hand knitting. Not only is Cecelia interested in the arts and knitting, but also in books. Books have been the primary mechanism for knowledge transfer for over a thousand years. One of her missions is to honor that tradition and create books that are both informative, and also beautiful objects in and of themselves. Makers love beautiful things, and Cecelia feels strongly that books should be as lovely as tools and yarns.Today she is fully dedicated to the fiber world and "unventing" new ways to make amazing knit fabrics. Cecelia lives in Silicon Valley, where for many years she developed specialized microscopes used in computer chip manufacturing. Textiles, photography, and the arts have been a lifelong passion running in parallel with her technical life. We are offering two wonderful days' worth of quality interaction with Cecelia. Choose one, the other, or indulge yourself with both: Saturday, August 6: Marls Workshop Sunday August 7: Sequence Knitting Workshop Click to register for the workshops of your choice: |
