About this Event

This class is a perfect introduction for students who have an interest in learning crochet. We'll establish a strong foundation holding a crochet hook, chain stich, single stich, double stich, and making a magical circle. We will show you demos and help you through guided practice. This class is welcome for all levels of crocheters, but especially geared towars brand new beginners


About the instructor:  Elena Gans-Pfister (they/them/xe) is a fiber sculptor and installation-based artist. Their artwork is informed by micro and marine biology, with liking the concept of taking the micro and blowing it up to the macro. Gans-Pfister was raised learning a variety of hand-fiber processes, which include, but are not limited to: cross-stitching, sewing, crocheting, knitting, and much more. These are the tools to create xe’s bold and expressive work.


Class will run Wednesday nights February 18th - March 25th 6:30pm - 8pm
