Community stitching

The workshop I delivered this past Sunday (Stitching with Purpose) at Artful Sundays in Vancouver was a great activity for community members to come together and think about a personal craftivist message and do some stitching. I was pleasantly surprised at how many people decided to give this a try considering that this is a time intensive activity. Participants stayed for an hour or more to work on their text messages. Here are some pictures from the event. There is one more event next Sunday, August 31st where Magpie’s Nest will facilitate a free rag basket making workshop. More information about Artful Sundays here.

If you were one of the participants, thank you for participating and I would love to see your project and share it on this blog. Send me your picture at laura[at] laurabucci [dot] com.
