Tutor

Cornelia Schwabe

Cornelia Schwabe discovered her love for crochet accidentally, when creating baby bonnets and accessories for her photography business. She crocheted projects for events, as well as commissioned pieces. Currently creating regular crochet circles and ongoing crochet around the Sunshine Coast, she also regularly runs workshops within larger events. Cornelia creates many of her own patterns and is inspired to teach individuals an art which is useful as well as beautiful.
