About this service

From the organization's website: https://nwowomenscentre.org/craftivism/

A feminist craft program has been running somewhat informally out of the Women's Centre since 2016, and more formally (with facilitated workshops and a small budget) since May 2022. Our core crafting group and drop-ins have worked to: Provide seed bombs and knit or crocheted items to the Local Garden and Gift fundraiser boxes Make and send postcards during elections, reminding candidates that women are watching their positions on issues important to us Create Red Scarves for Elevate NWO's HIV awareness campaign Spark conversation about the need for a feminist book club, resulting in the Loud Women Collective Yarn-bomb public sculpture in the Bay/Algoma shopping district with #MeToo messages coinciding with Take Back the Night Contribute to arts educator Pam Cain's Mending Hearts program which builds empathy, awareness and support for women and girls in the justice system (Elizabeth Fry Society NWO) Send hand-made hats and mittens out to adults and kids in the community
