craft forward
London
We think of arts and crafts as smaller, valuable actions that contribute to the
community’s well being and that can tackle bigger social issues; we are big fans
of “slow-making and slow-thinking”, focusing on the importance of making by
hand, of taking your own time with your thoughts and ideas, and going against
fast, capitalist structures of production and art making. We provide a variety
of workshops utilising a range of different media, such as knitting and
crocheting, collage, publication making, creative writing. Our workshops are
suitable for beginners hesitant to approach arts and crafts and for more
experienced makers that are tired of the elitism and exclusivity that
characterise contemporary arts. Arts and crafts are for everyone, and we would
love for our participants to come out from one of our workshops with more
confidence in their artistic and social skills.
