Craftivisim

I have recently taken a course called 'Art & the Language of Craft' and for our final project we did our own bit of craftivism. This is a mash-up of craft and activism. Using traditional crafts such as sewing, knitting and embroidery we looked at social issues and a way to address them using 'soft sculpture.' I did mine on homelessness and about how everyone who needs a home should have one. It provided a way to address an important subject in a creative and (hopefully) inspiring way. - Fern
