About the Instructor:
I’m Adilene! I’ve been crocheting since elementary school and sort of stuck with it. i enjoy making themed items that are colorful, whimsical, and sometimes seasonal or nostalgic themes. My work includes mainly accessories and wearables. Through my crochet businesses i have developed a practice that focuses not only on making individual pieces but also on creating opportunities for people to connect with handmade art. I enjoy introducing people to crochet in a way that’s feels easy and fun, especially for beginners who can feel intimidated by learning a new craft!
