The private classes can be arranged at a time to suit our mutual calendars. Weekday evenings are preferred.

To arrange for a class, please contact the Crocus Needle Arts School.

I also teach crochet classes at Michaels Beacon Hill (corner of Sarcee Trail and Stoney Trail) on Wednesdays. The following list shows the upcoming classes. Register in advance with the cashier at the store. Each class costs $25.
