We enjoyed a lovely day out to #NorfolkMakersFestival!
We led a session making craftivist patches & @Refill inspired droplets 💧💙
In addition, our Threads of Survival quilt, created during COVID Lockdowns, is on display at @StPeterMancroft as part of the Festival

If your Xmas doesn’t look like Norman Rockwell painting, consider this: His 1st marriage ended in divorce. He moved his family to be closer to a hospital so his 2nd wife could receive psychiatric treatment. His own therapist told Rockwell he could paint happiness; not live it.

The National Liberty Museum unveiled their new exhibition “Craftivism: Activism Through Craft” to the public. #Craftivists use what have traditionally been seen as “domestic arts” as statements of power and protest. @LibertyMuseum

What are your July plans?

Your effectiveness as an activist doesn’t hinge on being the loudest in the room or having the biggest social following says author of "The Little Book Of Activism", Karen Edwards. #Craftivism
