Fiber Physics (Knitting and Crochet): Craftivism

Using just sticks and string, learn to make useful items for yourself and others while exploring the simplicity and complexity of geometric shapes.

What is craftivism?

CRAFTIVISM = craft + activism

Betsy Greer has defined "craftivism" as:

"...a way of looking at life where voicing opinions through creativity makes your voice stronger, your compassion deeper & your quest for justice more infinite."

See the CRAFTIVISM website for a longer definition!
