Welcome to our Beginner Crochet Workshop, a cozy and creative space where you can slow down, learn something new, and have a little fun along the way. Whether you have never picked up a crochet hook before or you are just looking for a gentle refresher, this class is designed to be relaxed, supportive, and full of good vibes. To celebrate the arrival of spring, we will be creating charming crochet flowers. These colorful, cheerful little blooms never wilt and can be used as garlands, bookmarks, or bag charms. By the end of the workshop, you will have your own handmade flowers to take home plus the skills and confidence to keep crocheting on your own.

What to Expect

Expect a supportive, hands on learning environment with demonstrations, guided practice, and plenty of time to ask questions. We will learn the basics of crochet step by step, with plenty of time to practice and connect with others. There is no pressure and no perfection, just a welcoming environment where you can enjoy the process of making something with your hands. You will work through foundational stitches and apply them directly to your floral projects. Come as you are, bring your curiosity, and get ready for a warm experience filled with yarn, laughter, and a touch of springtime magic.
