Remembrance Poppy Crochet Workshop
Join our Remembrance Poppy Crochet Workshop
Connect with likeminded quieteers for a Remembrance Poppy Crochet Workshop at CREATE Contemporary Crafts Hub, Camborne on Monday 29 September 2025 at 6pm-8pm.
This Pop Up Meet Up is designed to help you enjoy something you might not normally do with likeminded people in a calm and gentle way that feels authentic to your true quiet self. It’s a safe space for you to have a go at something fun and perhaps gently stretch your comfort zone as part of a community of quieteers who truly get you.
We can’t wait to welcome you.

Hi, I’m Angela. I’ve spent my life quietly working my way through several different careers, having trained as an architect and worked in practice, research and education, and also in film, television and arts management. I always felt most at home by the sea, so in 2018 I made the decision to move to Cornwall with my cockapoo, Artie.
Once here I cofounded Create CIC in Camborne, with the aim of giving anyone access to creativity, regardless of experience, ability or income. We run workshops, and offer access to equipment and studio space, for pottery, glass and jewellery. If you’re ever in town pop by and say hello!
As a quiet person who is also a director of a community interest company in Cornwall, discovering Quiet Connections has been a revelation to me. It has challenged my perception of my own and others’ quietness and allowed me to see it as a strength rather than a barrier – I can be successful, socially and professionally, because of, not in spite of, my quietness.
What to expect
What’s the environment going to be like?
This an opportunity to learn how to make a beautiful crocheted remembrance poppy. For all abilities - even those who have never crocheted before!
We are making poppy garlands for the railings outside CREATE in Camborne, so any poppies you would like to donate would be much appreciated. But perhaps you would just like to make one for yourself to wear? The main thing is to join in and have a go!
If you can’t make the workshop dates, Sue will be making poppies at the Tuesday Camborne Meet Ups and is happy to guide you through the steps. The pattern is also available as a PDF should anyone with crochet experience want to make these at home.
Do you need to bring anything?
Guidance and materials will be provided to get you started, but if you have any spare red, green or black wool, please bring that along.
