Classes & Workshops
Dash of Creativity brings mobile, beginner-friendly craft workshops to communities throughout New Hampshire and New England. Workshops are available for libraries, breweries, senior centers, community organizations, businesses, and private groups.
Led by craft instructor Dasha Randlett, Dash of Creativity began with fiber arts. Workshop options now include crochet, macramé, embroidery, seasonal crafts, creative wellness, and other hands-on projects. Each workshop centers on making, learning, and connection. Formats range from relaxed social activities to structured classes. Each experience can be adapted to fit the venue, group, and community.

Creativity That Brings Communities Together
Over the last couple of years, I’ve led workshops at more than 20 venues across more than 15 towns in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Maine.
From crochet, macramé, embroidery and seasonal crafts like yarn pumpkins and mini house decorating, my classes welcome 2–30 participants and bring people together to learn, create, and connect.
Creative Program Consulting
Looking to develop or strengthen creative programming for your organization? I provide consulting for libraries, recreation departments, senior programs, nonprofits, community organizations, and other groups looking to create engaging, accessible programs for their audiences.
Consulting can support new program development, expansion of existing offerings, or improvement of how programs are planned, structured, and promoted.
Consulting Services Include:
- Program strategy and development
- Curriculum and activity planning
- Single and multi-session program design
- Audience and engagement strategies
- Marketing and promotional planning
- Program evaluation and recommendations
- Implementation guidance and resources
Repairing & Renewing Knit & Crochet Pieces
Creative repairs are tailored to each piece, whether handmade, machine-knit, vintage, or commercially produced. Each project begins with an evaluation of the stitches, yarn, construction, and damaged areas to determine the best approach. Repairs focus on restoring function and appearance while preserving as much of the original piece as possible.
Repair Services Include:
- Crochet and knit repair for blankets, sweaters, scarves, hats, and more
- Repair of holes, worn areas, damage, and unraveling
- Stitch reconstruction and structural reinforcement
- Decorative repairs that turn damaged areas into intentional design details
- Yarn selection and personalized repair recommendations
