Local crafter Beth Battey returns for this unique hands-on workshop.

Using very small crochet hooks, make your own beaded bracelet. Be warned, once you make one you'll be hooked and want to keep making them!

All supplies are provided. Previous experience with crochet is required. This is a detailed, time-consuming project that will take the entire program to complete.

Beth is teaching a Beginning Crochet class on Thursday, January 25 from 6:30-8:45PM at the Traverwood Branch!

Learn the basics of sashiko stitching, a traditional embroidery style from Japan.
 

This event is part of Japan Week in partnership with the University of Michigan Center for Japanese Studies. There are many events throughout the community. All of the events happening at the library can be found here.
