In this 55-minute, 5-week class, we will learn the basics of crochet. If you have never even picked up a crochet hook, this class is for you! Even if you have a little bit of experience with crochet, this will bring you to the next level of understanding. By the end of our 5-weeks together, you will leave with more confidence in the art of crocheting and will be ready to make just about any project. Through step-by-step instruction using multiple cameras and the use of additional instructional videos, you will understand the fundamentals of crocheting. Each week, we will work on a new crochet stitch. We will work at your pace in order to achieve the confidence and knowledge needed.

Hi there! My name is Tessa DeForge. I live in the beautiful state of Vermont with my husband, 2 silly dogs and 2 precocious cats. I graduated from Massachusetts College of Art and Design in 2011 and hold a bachelor's in Art Education.
I am very passionate about education. I have taught in a traditional setting for 10 years as a 6-12 art teacher and as an early educator. I love to teach a multitude of things through art and play. Some of the classes I offer are: Art Social Group, Crochet Club, 1;1 Knitting and Crochet classes, as well as social groups, to name a few. I am always looking to expand on my class list. The skies the limit when it comes to art and I hope to have some more exciting classes up and running in the very near future.
