Super excited to be joining Mindy Tsonas Choi founder of the Be Seen Project for this Craftivism Making Event at Gather Here!
Craftivism (craft+activism) spans all mediums and movements. This workshop gives you an opportunity to try your hand at two mediums.
Stitch-up with Badass Cross Stitch aka Shannon Downey:
Know how to stitch already? Come learn a bit about the history of craftivism + the fiber arts and work on something meaningful and fabulous in community with others. Not a stitcher yet? Shannon will teach you how to embroider in mere minutes so you can stab it out for pleasure and power. Materials included.
8 Page Zine making with Mindy Tsonas Choi:
