Terrazzo workshop with Tinna Thórudóttir
Discover the vibrant world of mosaic crochet with Icelandic textile artist and internationally loved designer, Tinna Thórudóttir. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to crochet beautifully graphic Terrazzo tiles, such as in Tinna's gorgeous Terrazzo Afghan.
The workshop covers the initial set-up, including how to create an invisible join, and then walks through the first rounds of hte pattern, demonstrating how to create the corners and add stitches.
Designed for crocheters with basic skills. With Tinna's expert guidance, you’ll gain confidence with colour, chart reading and textured crochet - all while making something beautiful.
Class Highlights:
- Learn directly from Tinna and experience her joyful approach to colour and crochet
- Start a beautiful Terrazzo crocheted tile while learning all the techniques to finish it at home
Skill Level:
Beginner. You’ll need to know basic stitches (chain, double crochet), but no previous colourwork experience is required.
Duration:
In-person class, 3 hours
What to Bring:
- At least two colours of DK/8ply– worsted weight/10 ply yarn (200g each), with good contrast
- 4.5mm – 5mm crochet hook
- Crochet stitch markers
- Scissors and a tapestry/yarn needle for finishing
- Notebook and pen
Workshop Note:
Choose colours with strong contrast to help your mosaic design stand out. Lighter shades in DK or worsted-weight yarn are ideal for seeing stitch definition and pattern structure as you learn.

About your teacher: Tinna Thórudóttir Thorvaldar(Iceland)
I love crochet and all handy crafts and have crocheted since I was a little girl, my great grandmother taught me how when I was 9 years old. I in turn have taught crochet classes since 2009.
I have been a professional crocheter since 2012 and have released 3 books with original crochet patterns in Iceland (Þóra Heklbók in 2011, María Heklbók in 2013 and Havana Heklbók in 2016) and was also the editor and contributor of the fourth book (Heklfélagið in 2014).
I also do yarn bombs, since 2010, and was one of 4 textile artists featured in the movie Yarn (2016), where you can see my work. Now I am making more textile (indoor!) art and held art exhibitions, where I do both crochet and embroidery pieces. Please check out my work on Instagram @tinnahekl if you are interested.
I much prefer creating new patterns and art, to computer work and translations, and that is why I have not published any of my patterns here on Ravelry until now. But after much encouragement (mostly from my mom and my husband ) now I am determined to putting my focus on translating my patterns and selling them internationally … even if I have to force myself to put down the crochet needle and pay more attention to the computer once in a while ;)
