Beginning Crochet with Ashley V. Blalock

Join this all-day workshop to learn the basics of crochet and its relation to developing creativity. Students will be introduced to crochet, covering all the basic stitches, as well as starting, and finishing a project. At the end of the day, students will be well on their way to completing a small, three-dimensional crochet item.

The workshop fee is $100 and includes materials.
