Finger Crochet and Up-Cycled Art
Crocheting is therapeutic because of its calming, rhythmic movements. It relieves stress and muscle tensions after a hard day as it easily draws you deeper into a solitary hobby where you can collect your thoughts. Crocheting can also bond people by sharing time and working on ideas together.

Finger Crochet Projects - $30 p/class
