Centre for Rare Arts and Forgotten Trades acknowledges the Wadawurrung people as the Traditional custodians of the land on which we operate. We pay our respects to their Elders past and present, and to all of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who live and work on Wadawurrung Country. We acknowledge their unceded sovereignty over Wadawurrung Country, and the ongoing hardship and trauma as a result of colonisation. The history and continuous culture of the Wadawurrung people is an important part of our shared story.

About this workshop
Join visiting Canadian guest presenter and mentor Steve Ashton for a Crank-In!In this full-day workshop, you will get a deep dive into the Circular Sock Knitting Machine (CSM). Steve Ashton will provide advice, support, and tuition on using your machine to create knitted works. A Circular Sock Knitting Machine (CSM) is a mechanical hand-cranked tool used to create a continuous circular seamless knitted body – traditionally socks or hosiery – but with practice and creative hands can be used to make leg warmers, wrist warmers, small hats, scarves, and more. A 'Crank-In' usually invites participants to bring their CSM from home for a group leaning experience. In this instance, some machines will also be available for beginners to use. Participants will need to bring their own yarn from home.
