The Frog Pond |
|
Bring your knitting, crocheting, or needlework and join us. If you need help with a pattern or fixing a mistake, I’ll be glad to help you. What The Frog Pond isn't Frog Pond is not a substitute for a learn to knit or crochet class. If you want to knit something but don't already know how to knit, then we should get together for a class first. If you want to crochet something but don't already know how to crochet, then again we should get together for a class first. I offer both of these classes through Michaels in Pinole. If you wish for a private lesson then contact me. Frog Pond is not a substitute for a project class that is already offered. However, anyone is welcome to come to The Frog Pond for follow up in any of the classes that they've attended or to ask for help with a pattern. |

Build Your Own Class |
|
I do my best to schedule a variety of classes and to add project classes that my students have been asking for. But if a class you would like to take doesn't fit in your schedule, or if I don't have a class you were wishing for, you have the opportunity to build you own class.
If you can gather several friends (a minimum of four students total) I can find a time to make a class work (availability permitting). Just send me an email with the class you would like, the names and numbers of your group that would like to participate, and a couple of options of times.
I'll usually contact you within a week of submission, and do my best to make it work. Advance payment is required. |

Private lessons are also available at a slightly higher rate. Please contact me for more information and to schedule a mutually agreeable time. |
