We aim to spread a culture of handcrafting and to help others enjoy the many benefits of handcrafts! This fun 3-hour beginner’s workshop aims to give young kids and even adults the basic skills they need to begin their crochet journey. We’ll help you craft your dreams!

Why should kids join?
1. Crocheting helps kids develop self-discipline and improve their hand-eye coordination.
2. Kids can develop a screen-free hobby that helps pass time in a fun, creative, and productive way.
3. The feeling of satisfaction that comes with making their own flowers will be worth all the hard work!
4. Learning beginner crochet skills can be developed over time and well into adulthood. The possibilities of crocheting are endless!
