More about Michaels Online Experiences
Michaels also has Online Experiences which are basically free online craft workshops. They give you a detailed list of supplies, which you can choose to buy at Michaels or elsewhere. The classes are taught by artists. I took a few of these during the pandemic and they were very fun and insightful! Currently Michaels has a bunch of jewelry, crochet and kids classes online. You can find the full list and sign up here.
I can’t wait to check one of these experiences out at Michaels with my kids, or with a friend!
