Spent a couple of hours in the library today - Saturday morning is a great time to visit the library because it is quiet and all the magazines are availale. I love Uppercase magazine and issue No 20 features an article about Sarah Corbett and craftivism.
While I have been extolling the virtues of on 4th wave feminism which offers on line campaigns, Sarah Corbett suggests that craftivism offers 'a way of looking at life where voicing opinions through creativity makes your voice stronger, your compassion deeper.
Sarah started with a blog, going on to found the Craft Collective in 2009. I've offered to help at a workshop in May at the V & A.
I've been trying to think how I progress after the MA ends. I'll be 64 years old, I can't pretend that I will be working towards a longterm new career but I know I will be using my skills to make things because I enjoy drawing, making and constructing stuff. Hopefully I will also facilitate others to make stuff. To this end I will be co-delivering a screenprinting workshop in May which also involves me designing the screens.
