Learn how to knit, crochet – and unwind – at Art Partners Studio
Art Partners Studio, Coatesville’s mecca for creativity, is adding a Yarn Club to its summer lineup.
Participants – ages 12 and up – will have an opportunity to learn the basics of knitting and crocheting and assist with some community projects, including making scarves for those in need and creating public art with yarn, known as “yarn bombs.” You can also help to teach others.
