Instructor Bio
Christine Valles is a crochet artist who recently exhibited in the biennial juried show "In, Of, or About Fiber." Her crochet wall hanging Para Gusto, Hay Colores (For Tastes, There are Colors) received the Recognition Award from the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts. She is partial to the freeform crochet technique because she can create individual works, or combine them into a larger work of art. This technique allows her to "go with the flow," and she loves not needing to count stitches. She is looking forward to sharing her love of crochet with her students!

How do I get to the Studio? From the Chinatown Gateway Garage, take the elevator to the 2nd floor and walk to the large double doors on the left. Enter the gallery and turn left; we are the last door on the left, past the kitchen. If you are parked elsewhere, walk up the steps to the DAC gift shop, go past it to find the elevator, and follow the instructions above to access the studio. There is a handicap ramp if you cannot walk up the stairs for the DAC building on the Nu'uanu entrance side. Walk towards the street lights, and you will see the ramp; you will need to walk through the courtyard to the elevator.
