“We’re hosting Shannon Downey, the artist and author behind Badass Cross Stitch, for an afternoon of creativity, conversation, and connection at The Craft Place.

This Craftivism (craft based activism ) afternoon will consist of a book talk and Q&A, book signing, and of course making your own craft.

The Craft | Yay Flags!

“Yay Flags” are small, handmade banners that display a word or phrase you want to put out into the world. It’s a simple, approachable project meant to help you express yourself — whether that’s joy, resistance, humor, or encouragement.

You’ll make two yay flags – one to keep for yourself, and one to gift. At the end of the event, you’ll exchange your second flag with someone you meet — a small, handmade way to connect with someone new.”

Cost: $50
