“I’m so glad I joined the ACA. I have learned so much and I’ve been crocheting for 50 years. Salena Baca is an excellent instructor. All of her classes are very informative and easy to follow. I’m teaching my granddaughter to crochet and having the ACA classes has helped so much. I love that I can do the classes at my pace. I have taken many of these courses late at night in bed. You can’t beat that for convenience. Thanks for teaching this old dog some very valuable new tricks.”
The ACA is made and managed by Salena Baca, a crochet professional, just for people who love crochet.
My goal is to assure universal standards, guidelines, and practices are accessible, so that crochet will be passed through the generations in better hands than we found it.
I created the Crochet Instructor Training program and Toolkit to share everything I learned after successfully teaching thousands of people in-person and online over the last few decades.
