Crochet 101: Make your own Beanie Hat
May 6 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm
Celeste Preston, one of d’griot gallery’s Spring resident artists, will be leading attendees on how to start projects with a crochet needle and yarn using the “slip stitch”. The supplies that are needed are a crochet needle (aluminum may be easier to work with, smaller needles will take longer FYI) yarn and a positive mindset.
Learn from the best and bring all your questions and supplies!

About d’griot community gallery: @dgriot.philly
Named in honor of African storytellers and urban slang, we are a community gallery. A space of story. Stories of our ancestors, the magic in the present, and our intent for the future. We exist to uplift the black, brown, and local community through being a platform for folk artists & local businesses, hosting inspiring events, offering space rentals and catering of nutrient dense food, and soon a Fly High Tea.
We are intentional about creating authentic beautiful spaces to share stories, activate our creativity, educate one another, map toward our goals, support one another to see the beauty in ourselves and fly.
