ABOUT THIS EVENT

Event Overview
Nothing adds polish to a basic textile like the finess of crocheted details. It turns ordinary sun dresses, duvet covers, table runners, curtains and the like into delicate works of art. It also, however, adds a great deal to the price of a commercial item.
Join the D.I.Y. movement spurned by the walls of 1,000 Pinterest boards and Anthropologie window displays by learning how to crochet from a certified fiber artist. This Dabble class for beginners will walk students through the process of crocheting the simple chain stitch. Learn helpful tips for using the hook and selecting yarn, and once you've gotten the hang of the stitch you'll be sea-shelling in no time. All tools and materials are provided for the class, and Dabblers will leave with a hook, yarn, and sample made in class, so just come armed with the will to learn!
