Process as Power: Craft as Self Care through Conversation and Hands On Making

Delve into the profound relationship of hands-on creating and personal well-being through a shared crafting experience. Historical traditions of craft will be connected with contemporary practices of self-care to foster a space where art, wellness, and community intersect.
To begin, museum educator Lola Rael will explore a specific artwork within the historical and contemporary context of using craft as a therapeutic practice. The discussion will be followed by a supportive hands-on making session. Bring your portable work-in-progress—be it knitting, embroidery, or any other soft project— to craft together.
Free. Pre-registration is requested for this in-person, DROP-IN program. Stay for a bit or for the entire program.
