Classes I offer

Giant knit blanket Make a gorgeous throw blanket using merino wool roving (wool fiber before it’s spun into yarn). You will learn a “table knitting” technique that doesn’t require knitting needles, plus tips and tricks for working with this giant yarn.
Crochet rope basket In this introduction to crochet, students use their fingers rather than a crochet hook to make a flat round, then build the sides of the basket with a different stitch. Optional leather handles finish the basket.
Beeswax food wraps Choose from a variety of colorful fabrics and coat them with a layer of melted beeswax to create eco-friendly reusable food wraps.
Knit pouf cushion Using giant stuffed yarn and a circular knitting needle, learn to knit in the round and make a cover for a cute, cozy pillow. You will also learn to make a bag to hold stuffing, stuff and finish the pouf.
Shibori indigo dye Experience the magic of indigo dye as you unfold your dyed pieces and watch them develop. Learn a variety of Shibori folding techniques to create unique patterns.
Fresh holiday wreaths Assemble a beautiful wreath to decorate your home or front door for the holidays using fresh greenery and berries.
Candle making Learn how to make your own container candles using slow-burning soy wax and your choice of wick. Add fragrance oils and colors to create your own designer candles.
