> Latch hooking,
> locker hooking, loom knitting, macramé, origami, plastic
> canvas, safety pin
> beading, sewing with a sewing machine, and soap-making.

> that particular class then goes to the class sign-up page and
> chooses their
> class of interest from the list of available classes, and fills out a
> form
> to sign up.
> They are then sent a confirmation email acknowledging that
> they are signed
> up.
> The next step for the student is to review the class sign-up

> of the
> instructor and his/her contact information, as well as a supply
> list.
> 
> There are two types of classes that are offered at Krafter’s

> class.
> If a student has signed up for a telephone conference call
> class, they will
> receive a special phone number to call in for the class via

> student has signed up for an email class, they will be placed on
> a special
> email list only to be used for that particular class.
