Recent reviews of Intermediate Crochet Coaster Workshop

  • 5/5 from Aegina Barnes, attended Jan 2026: Leaya is a wonderful teacher -- she's very patient, kind, and flexible -- and the dog coaster is an adorable project. I am an unusually slow learner when it comes to tasks involving physical coordination, and the fact that I got a far as I did is a testament to Leaya's teaching skills, calm demeanor, humor, and patience!

I’ve always had a deep love for creating things with my hands, and over the years I’ve built a pretty wide-ranging toolkit when it comes to DIY needlework. I crochet everything from cozy scarves to cute amigurumi. I also cross stitch—one tiny square at a time—turning simple threads into colorful little artworks.
I’m a hobbyist at heart, and as a side hustle I love teaching from knitting to crochet to cross stitch. With years of experience and a genuine passion for all things crafty, I strive to create a fun, low-pressure, and engaging learning environment for everyone who joins me. I cherish the quiet, calm, and serenity that come with crafting; all the stress of the day just melts away during the process. I want my students to feel that same peace and joy when they walk into my class.
Teaching gives me the chance to share that spark of creativity, of comfort, of possibility. Whether you’re brand-new, a little nervous, or just excited to try something with your hands, I’m here to guide you, stitch by stitch, into a world where learning feels easy and crafting feels magical.
