Welcome to the beginner's course on crochet in Canberra!
In this course, we'll start with the basics and gradually build up your skills, step by step. By the end, you'll have the knowledge and confidence to tackle more complex projects on your own.
Throughout the four-week course, we'll cover essential techniques such as how to hold the hook and yarn and how to create basic stitches. We'll also explore how to read crochet patterns and charts, troubleshoot common mistakes and finish off your projects neatly.
This is the ideal course if you've never crocheted before. Learning to crochet takes patience and practice. With dedication and perseverance, you'll soon be crocheting like a pro!

My name is Leah. I’m the owner and creator behind This Lush Corner an online fibre store and now a learning space to help you dive into a new craft.
I’m an accredited teacher through the Australian Crochet Guild and bring my lifelong experience in crochet and fibre crafts. I am a lover of not only crochet, but knitting, machine knitting, basket weaving and Pine needle basketry crafts.
I choose slow fashion, mending and repurposing rather than disposal, it’s about quality over quantity. There's something special about the process of creating or repairing something by hand—it's a mindful activity that allows us to slow down and appreciate the craftsmanship involved.
It's a way to preserve traditional crafts and pass on knowledge from one generation to the next.
If you are ready to try your hand at a new skill, then let’s jump in and discover the joy of making together!
