Crochet, Knitting & Embroidery Classes
These classes are for ages 12+ and those who are already proficient with basic crochet or knitting stitches (Most embroidery classes require no experience). A good fit for these classes would be someone who has successfully completed a few projects and is ready to learn some new techniques.
Here you will find details about group classes of 12 students or less. Classes are geared toward learning new techniques through the creation of a sample swatch or item.
Interested in a class, but being in a group isn't really your thing? No worries! Reach out to the shop and get a private class for just you or you and your friends and family.
