Learn to crochet at Fabrik

Learn to crochet with crochet aficionados Kristin Phillips and Lianne Gould. 

You will be provided with a very useful starter kit, and with Kristen's and Lianne's expert guidance you'll be on your way to creating your very own drink coaster. 

By the end of the session you will have your nearly completed coaster but a very clear idea of how to complete it, enabling you to create a full set of coasters at home.
