DIY Chunky Knit Blanket Workshop
Description
Have fun learning to make your own chunky knit blanket! This DIY workshop teaches you the art of creating a cozy, soft and plush blanket with just your fingers. Create something special that'll make your home even more inviting, with yarn that's perfect for cuddling up in. These can be whipped up in one day so are a perfect handmade gift. We are using a super plush chenille polyester yarn, that it machine washable and dryable on gentle if inserted into a mesh laundry bag. You will finish 1/3 to 1/2 in class, maybe more, then go home with the remaining yarn and skills to complete your project.
This workshop is for ages 12+, but under 16's must attend with an adult. No observers - all participants must have a pre-paid ticket.
You may make a solid color blanket, or choose 2 colors and make stripes. The base price includes 6 skeins of yarn which will make a roughly 3 foot x 4 foot lap size blanket. You may add more skeins at $8 each. Each additional skein will add roughly 1 foot x 2 foot to your finished size. Money for the extra skeins will be collected on the day of the class. You will finish 1/3 to 1/2 in class, maybe more, then go home with the remaining yarn and skills to complete your project.

No notice/No show = no transfer or refund
To be eligible for refund or class transfer, you must contact Dream Maker via email, messenger, or text message BEFORE the class. If we are
busy setting up for the class, we’ll at least have the timestamp on your message to go by. Do not call.
In all cases, you may send another person in your place. A heads up to us is appreciated but not required. Additionally, if we are able to fill your spot from the waiting list, you will receive a full refund or transfer with no additional cost. The sooner you contact us about your cancellation, the more likely we’ll be able to fill your spot.
Class Transfers
We do not guarantee that a class will be offered again or that it has sufficient space. Class transfers are a one-time option and must be used within 6 months. If it is 14 days or more until your class, you may transfer to any workshop type and you’ll pay the difference, or we’ll refund you the difference in cost. If it is 13 days or less, transfers are only offered to the same workshop. This is because we’ve likely already incurred the cost of supplies.
Class Minimums
Classes that fail to meet minimum enrollment may be cancelled and refunded. Unless otherwise stated, this minimum is 4 paid attendees for classes held at Dream Maker and 6 for classes held at other venues. We generally hold ticketing open until 48-72 hours before a scheduled event, then make a determination as to whether to continue. Do not wait until the last minute to enroll because you’re afraid a class will be cancelled. When everyone does that, it ensures that a class will be cancelled. You will be notified by email 24-48 hours before a class is scheduled if we are unable to meet enrollment.
Cancellation by Dream Maker
If we cancel a class due to instructor illness, power outage, weather/disaster, etc, we will first attempt to reschedule the class and transfer to the new date. If you’re not available for the rescheduled date, you will be refunded.
Other Terms & Conditions
Photography and Video
The best marketing is pics of your smiling faces making something great in our classes. Our post class social media posts are a cost effective way to promote our classes and keep prices low. And community members love seeing what people are up to. Unless you specifically notify us, your attendance in a workshop grants us permission to post pics or video clips online. You will never be tagged or named and we never use any material that would embarrass you.
Minors
Unless otherwise stated, teens age 12+ may attend workshops primarily intended for adults. However, the teen must attend with an adult who is responsible for their supervision. The ages may vary based on the requirements for specific venues, liquor license rules, or the complexity/safety of a given craft. We sometimes offer kid or teen only classes which are drop-off. In this case, caregivers will need to complete an emergency contact form and waiver for their children.
Waiver of Liability
In the course of crafting and making art, you may be exposed to minor hazards such as sharp objects, certain chemicals, etc. We will show you the safe use of such materials, but are not liable for accidental mishaps, allergic reactions, or other injuries that may occur during our classes. You agree to accept these risks when you attend a Dream Maker event.
Pet Policy
Dream Maker Creative does not allow pets at any of our workshops whether our own studio or in other venues. Trained service animals are allowed per ADA guidelines. Emotional support pets or those who you bring with you because they can’t be left alone are not allowed. Pets in the classroom are unsafe as we are
often moving around in tight spaces, working with sharp objects or chemicals, and can cause issues if other animals are in attendance.
