Minnesotan author Kao Kalia Yang’s book ‘The Latehomecomer’ has been chosen as one of the national NEA Big Read recommended books this year!  ArtReach and other local organizations are offering a series of events as part of the Big Read program of the St. Croix Valley.  Marine Mills Folk School is pleased to participate in this program and offer this class.

Join Cara Corey, a maker on a mission to lessen waste and have fun doing it.  She will teach students this fun skill to use again and again, as we all know there is an unlimited supply of materials!

You will learn how to turn plastic bags into “plarn” -plastic yarn-that you can crochet with, just like regular yarn. Experimentation is encouraged. You can create this simple storage basket during the class and use any extra time to work on other items. Plarn is great for dish scrubbers, bags, baskets, rugs and more.

Student to provide for class:

10 regular size or larger plastic bags. The larger the better!
Size J/10 crochet hooks

Online Class General Information:

Each registration is for one “device” (one computer, tablet, phone).  This is to ensure we don’t have more people registered than the instructor is comfortable with having in a class.  Please be respectful of this guideline and purchase multiple class spots if more than one person from your household is interested in attending.
You will need a reliable Internet connection as well as a computer or device with which to access the online class.  Please arrive 10 minutes before class begins, to ensure your connection and device are ready when the class begins.
If the class lists ‘Materials Needed’, you will want to purchase those materials and have them available as well
Each class will be held using Zoom technology.  You will receive a link and a password and information on how to log on,  prior to the class.  You will be able to view and ask questions during the class.
