We offer a wide variety of fiber arts classes at SPARKLE Studio. Many of our classes are suitable for absolute beginners. If you don’t see the class you’re looking for listed below, please send us an email. If we aren’t able to teach that class, chances are we know someone who can.
Our class fees are $20 per person, per hour. We are happy for you to use our larger equipment such as looms and spinning wheels. However, you will need your own smaller implements such as drop spindles, knitting needles, and crochet hooks, all of which are available for purchase in the studio. For most classes, we provide an inexpensive yarn, but you are always welcome to purchase any other yarn in the studio to use during class.
