Knitting, Crocheting, Felting, Weaving for Peace in Time of Pandemic
Calling all crafters!
So many disruptions, so much sadness, loss and loneliness. But life goes on for those of us who have been lucky enough to survive Covid in this very turbulent World.
The past two years have forced us to rethink how and where we can find a safe space to create, how we find our own sense of peace. For many of us, making things
with our hands has been a way to deal with all these disruptions, a peaceful way to push back against the chaos and anger around us.
