In this hands-on course, students will learn the art and practice of crochet—a tactile, calming, and expressive fiber art form. Whether you're picking up a hook for the first time or refining your skills with advanced patterns, crochet offers a space to slow down, focus, and create something meaningful.
Beginner students will start with foundational stitches and techniques, learning to read patterns and build basic shapes. Projects may include washcloths, hats, or simple amigurumi (stuffed figures). Emphasis will be placed on process over perfection, helping students develop self-compassion, patience, and attention to detail.
Advanced students will dive into more complex pattern work, experimenting with texture, color theory, wearable design, and original pattern creation. Students will be encouraged to take on long-form or multi-piece projects, developing confidence in their ability to set and meet creative goals over time.
Throughout the course, all students will:
Practice self-care through craft, using crochet as a meditative practice that supports emotional regulation and stress relief.
Develop original creative work, exploring personal style, symbolism, and intention in design.
Strengthen perseverance and focus by working through mistakes, solving technical problems, and completing challenging projects.
Crochet is a skill that cultivates patience, self-expression, and joy.
