Crochet for Beginners

Join us for a beginner workshop where you’ll create your own summer-style earrings and an adorable kitty cat ornament! These handmade pieces can be used in many creative ways, from a cute bag charm or coaster to a heartfelt gift. This class will be taught by interdisciplinary sustainable artists Leila Ghasempor and Gigi Farmer. In this workshop, you’ll learn foundational crochet techniques, including:

• Magic Ring
• Simple Stitches
• Increasing & Decreasing
• Chains and Embroidery for Finishing Touches

By the end of the session, you’ll walk away with a new skill, the confidence to read basic crochet patterns, and a fun project you can be proud of.
