Level: all
Saturday
Apr 5
1:30 pm - 3:00 pm
Instructor: Michelle Bjerke
Fee: $45 (includes all supplies)
In this workshop, you’ll learn the basics of crochet that will enable you to create a variety of items in just a few steps. Demonstrations will be given in the beginning of the class and will be followed by individual assistance. Students will have the ability to work at their own pace and will be guided toward projects in keeping with their skill level. If your schedule allows, we recommend registering for both the Saturday and Sunday workshops to give yourself the best opportunity to complete a project. However, if you can only attend one, you’ll still gain enough knowledge to continue your project at home.
Materials will be provided and given to you at the end of the class for you to begin creating at home.
Michelle will be contributing all of her profits to UCONN’s Graphic Design Program’s final show in May.
SUPPLY LIST: All supplies will be provided by RAC and will be given to students at the end of the workshop.
ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR:
Hello, My name is Michelle Bjerke and I am excited to be teaching Stitch and Sip. I am currently studying at the University of Connecticut while spending my breaks off school working as a gallery assistant as well as teacher here at Rowayton Arts Center. I’ve been an avid crocheter since I was 8 and actually began assisting the after school program that taught me at the qualified age of 12 so lets hope I am a proficient instructor by now. Since then I’ve shown textile work at my school and sold my products here and other places. I am excited to get crocheting with all of you and I hope you walk out of this class with a new skill.
