ABOUT YOUR TEACHER
CONNIE TRINH | STUDIO SUBI FOUNDER & TEACHER
The face behind Studio Subi, Connie is a lover and ambassador of all things handmade.
"Craft has always been my creative outlet, my happy moments, I could spend hours with, even preferred over sleep. I’ve always wished for a dedicated space where I could leave out all my supplies at the ready. When a short-term opportunity for a dedicated space came up, I jumped for it!"
And so Studio Subi was born! A creative space for creative skills to be shared, likeminded humans to meet and have fun learning or developing their skills further. We've got so many amazing teachers, all specialised in their own craft and passionate to share their knowledge with you.
One of my favourite makes is our amigurumi octopus.
Connie will be your crochet teacher.
