Get ready for eight weeks of colorful, cozy creations with yarn! In this hands-on fiber arts class, young artists will explore the wonderful world of crochet, finger knitting, and weaving while creating their own unique projects. Students will learn foundational techniques, from starting a crochet project and changing yarn colors to finger knitting colorful creations and experimenting with different weaving patterns and textures.
Using a variety of colorful yarns, fibers, and materials, students will create everything from wearable accessories to decorative fiber art. Along the way, they'll develop patience, problem-solving skills, and creative confidence as they discover the endless possibilities of working with yarn. Whether you're brand new to fiber arts or have tried a few stitches before, this class is all about experimenting, creating, and having fun!
No experience necessary—just bring your creativity!
