Michaels' Classes are an Inexpensive Way to Learn a New Craft

Michaels in-person craft classes are currently on hold. They are expected to return in the near future.

Michaels' craft classes and events include craft projects and demonstrations that are held at Michaels craft stores. There are classes for adults and children, as well as classes that the whole family can participate in.

Some of the Michaels' craft classes are free and some are very inexpensive. This can be a great way to get out and try something new without breaking the bank.
