Partner Event | Social Crafting: Building Community, Creative Expression, and Individual Resilience

Librarian Claire A. Miller explores the science and practice of making, crafting, and creating in groups. From story-time craft projects to adult stitching circles, crafting as part of a group offers benefits for both individuals and communities. The practice of crafting together can help fight digital abstraction, connect socially, and build our personal reserves of patience, resilience, and tolerance for mistakes.

Learn how to build, facilitate, or host your own social crafting event! Start the process of planning your own event from space considerations and budgeting to suggested craft projects and marketing ideas. Explore how social crafting can be adapted to fit a wide range of spaces, user groups, and organizational goals.

Participants are encouraged to bring a craft or coloring page of their own to work on during the presentation.
