Workshops
Crochet has been passed down through generations for a reason — there is something truly special about creating something beautiful with just a hook and some yarn. If you've always wanted to learn but never quite got the hang of it, this is your sign to try again. This beginner friendly workshop is designed specifically for those who are brand new to crochet or have tried before and felt frustrated. We've got you.
In this relaxed and supportive setting, you'll learn the foundational stitches and techniques that will finally make everything click. There's a reason your grandmother made it look so easy — and by the end of this workshop, you will too.
All materials are included so all you need to bring is yourself and your willingness to learn!
