Dear Pru Knitting Workshops and Events
Dear Pru knitting workshops are designed to share skills, spark creativity and grow the knitting community. Pru serves up lots of “secret vegetables” with her knitting workshops- like growth mindset and strategies for lifelong learning. This is because she is a qualified teacher with sixteen years experience in high school and university education. Pru loves empowering her students to follow their curiosity and develop new skills and confidence to cast on even more challenging knitting projects!
Pru Raymond teaches knitting workshops Australia-wide. Want to invite Pru to teach at your yarn store, community centre or school? Learn more
