Craft is more than just making—it’s a powerful thread that connects us. Creating Community Through Craft explores how shared creative experiences bring people together, fostering belonging, conversation, and collaboration. Whether knitting in a circle, stitching across generations, or hosting a community craft day, handmade projects become tools for healing, storytelling, and unity. This talk celebrates the role of craft in building safe, inclusive spaces where every voice matters and every hand contributes. Come discover how creativity can be the spark that transforms strangers into neighbors—and communities into chosen families.
