This class will help your artist gain an understanding in the basics of crochet. We will learn how to hold our yarn, start a project with a circle, read a pattern and finish a project. I will present in two ways to best demonstrate to learners how to crochet. I will have a slide presentation with project photos to clearly show each step (right handed), and I will also be demonstrating in real time (left handed). Class will start with a brief introduction of myself and each learner. I will go over my class rules with a slide presentation before we start to crochet. Lets begin! We will learn how to hold string for the correct tension, starting a project with a magic circle, how to read a pattern and then we will socialize as we finish our projects together. Issues and problems will arise as we work through our projects, and that is ok! I will work through them with you. *There is no guarantee your learner will finish their project in this class. Each learner works at a different pace. They will leave with the pattern, videos, knowledge and class recording to finish their project on their own time if not in class. My teaching style is all about fun! This will be a calm, relaxing and safe environment where students have the freedom to create and talk with other artists. I will encourage students to use their imagination and creativity to create their work. All artists will be encouraged to share their projects at the end of class. My classroom is an all inclusive space. I welcome all races, family structures, religions, sexual orientations, genders and disabilities. There is a zero tolerance policy on bullying. All artists will be respectful, encouraging and constructive or they will be removed from class. I look forward to meeting your learner and starting their love for crochet!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Music or Theatre or Arts from Kendall College of Art and Design
Hello and Welcome! My name is Ashlee. I am a passionate, friendly and practicing educator from the state of Michigan, USA. I'm a 34 year old mom of 1, lover of animals, food, coffee, art and music.
My passion is working with children in a fun and exciting way, leading to a positive learning experience. I have strong relationship building skills and truly enjoy being able to watch my students develop new skills and confidence. My classroom is an all inclusive space. I welcome all races, family structures, religions, sexual orientations, genders and disabilities.
My passions lie in art and working with my hands using ceramics, air dry clay, polymer clay, wire sculpting, crochet and gardening. Outside of Outschool, I own my own photography business. I have been in business for three years and continue to grow in that practice.
I have been working with children for 10+ years with ages ranging from infancy to teenagers. I currently hold my TESOL Certificate and teach ESL (English as a Second Language) courses online. I have taught over 2,600 class virtually to over 700 students! I have worked in a school setting, daycare, and ran my own after school program. One of my favorite parts of being an international educator is that it allows me to learn along side my students. I hope to continue to discover new things through my time with your learner.
My artistic accomplishments include a hand painted tile installation at a local women's shelter and my ceramic work is currently being shown in a local gallery. I like to explore materials and use them in unconventional ways.
With my background, being a practicing artist and love for being a life long learner I will continue to incorporate a variety of classes and mediums to my portfolio. I hope to instill the same love of learning and excitement of personal growth into my students.
I look forward to building an excellent student-teacher relationship with your child and I can't wait to see them in my classroom!Reviews
