I'm the founder of Coastal Design Workshops and I here to teach you how to be more creative. It's my passion to show people what they are capable of through new creative experiences - whether that's hand knitting a blanket, making a homemade candle, or just throwing some paint around on a canvas. Creativity is defined by you, the artist. Like Picasso once said, “Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.” In my workshops, you have full permission to show up as yourself, release the seriousness of life, and relax in the simple joy of childlike creativity. I am constantly in the process of curating new workshops for you - so stay tuned for exciting new events! Thanks for visiting my page and hope to see you in a workshop one day.
I am DEFINITELY going to retake this class again! Instructor friendly and PATIENT!!! She even taught a hack for a quick fix when my yarn fell out of a loop on a row that I already did! Started class at 2, finished class at 3, had a blanket by 9pm that night (including taking breaks)!!! Not bad for my first blanket in YEARS!

May need more than an hour, but was GREAT for a group activity! Shipping, communication and presentation was amazing!
Ame Manso
Cara was absolutely fantastic and patient. Answered any question and even redid the project if we got lost on a part just to make sure we were following along. The team loved the class.
Kim Holm
So much fun!!!! Cara is a fantastic host, not only during the event itself but throughout the entire planning process leading up to it. She was organized and responsive.

We had a great time and it was fun learning something new. Some of the group struggled but we had some good laughs!

Cara was helpful and responsive during booking. During the session, her instruction was easy to follow and very engaging as the group created their first chunky knit pumpkins! Thanks Cara!

Loved my class with Cara. First time trying this art form. Made two tea towels. Stunning. Look forward to continuing to try new techniques.

This class was a lot of fun. The instructor was very clear and thorough in their explanations of what to do to indigo dye. Highly Recommend.
