Get acquainted with craftivism, learn to embroider, stitch something brilliant, and make friends—all in just 2 hours!
Craft-based activism has been used as a tool of resistance, coalition building, and even espionage! Learn from Shannon Downey—a leader in the modern craftivism movement. She will provide an introduction to the history of craftivism and ways you can get involved in the modern movement. Shannon will then teach you how to embroider and have you stabbing it out in no time. She guarantees you walk away feeling better than when you arrived.

OR if you, like many, purchased an embroidery kit in 2020 and haven’t gotten around to it yet…that will be perfect. 😉
