I brought my 13 year old grand daughter in for this class. It was fabulous. The instructor, Theresa, was so good at guiding her while giving her the opportunity to make her own decisions. She learned how to use the tools and was so proud of the crochet hooks and needles she made. I recommend this class for adults and children.
