Greetings to the Collective!
Read on or go directly to our blog…
And if you haven’t already, take a gander at our blog roll over there in the sidebar. Some amazing sites doing some amazing work.
What are we doing?
- We provide ways to build connection through crafting
- We want to help kids return to the scrape, scrounge, dig, build, create approach to things
- For the earth’s sake we offer projects that utilize holistically sound materials through upcycling, recrafting, green materials, etc.
- We offer a chance to focus on the process as well as the projects
- We want to provide a place for crafters and non-crafters alike to find inspiration
- We serve up projects in bite-sized chunks that don’t overwhelm or intimidate
- We offer tips on ways to create an atmosphere that naturally leads to the discussion of our social environment
- We offer ideas for the promotion of self expression
- We want kids to understand the thrill of creation over the desire of consumption
- And we want kids and grown-ups to have the chance and information to craft and really and truly have a bunch of fun. Together.
Why do we do it?
We truly see this as an idea whose time has arrived, and one aimed to arm families, friends and community groups from all over with the tools they need to craft positive change in the world!!
And to make stuff together.
