Event Details

  • Crochet Skill:

    Color changes and pattern reading.

    Design personal patches or mini wall hangings that reflect identity.

Exploring identity, creativity, and personal strengths.  Crochet as a form of self-expression and storytelling.

This workshop combines social-emotional learning (SEL) with the art of crochet to help high school students build focus, resilience, and community. Each session provides a safe, welcoming space where students learn new crochet skills while exploring themes such as mindfulness, patience, problem-solving, and positive self-expression. Students will leave with both handmade creations and practical SEL strategies they can use in daily life.
