Ana "Rita" Guzmán             "Crochet"

Showing December 2 - 29, 2023

​

Art & Lit is thrilled to welcome back to the gallery the talented Rita Guzmán! There could be no cozier exhibit for this chilly season than this spectacular collection of tiny crochet pieces.

​

To create the various motifs, Rita used a steel crochet hook (the steels are the tiny hooks used for fine crochet) and heavy-duty sewing thread.

​

The patterns for her wonderful works came from the following books:

​

“100 Micro Crochet Motifs: Patterns and charts for tiny crochet creations,” by Steffi Glaves

“3D Granny Squares: 100 crochet patterns for pop-up granny squares,” by Celine Semaan, Sharna Moore and Caitie Moore

​

“Modern Guide to Granny Squares : awesome color combinations and designs for fun and fabulous crochet blocks,” by Celine Semaan and Leonie Morgan

​

“The Granny Square Book: Timeless Techniques & Fresh Ideas for Crocheting Square by Square,” by Margaret Hubert

​

In addition to the art on the gallery walls, Rita has also generously built and contributed to the gallery beautiful new butterfly-themed furniture.

​

What a treat this show is!
