We recently went along to the launch of this little gem that introduces some of the ideas behind craftivism alongside how-to instructions for a selection of craftivist projects and hints and tips for beginners. In the words of the Craftivist Collective, 'a spoonful of craft helps the activism go down'. 

Craftivism is a term coined by Betsy Greer, referring to the raising of social consciousness through the medium of craft. The Craftivist Collective, run by Sarah Corbett, is at the forefront of this movement. Their mini cross-stitched banners and tiny urban installations touch upon issues of environmentalism, corporate greed and gender equality in a warm and humorous way – quietly encouraging people to reflect upon these subjects in their own space and time.

All profit goes to sustaining and strengthening the collective.

We also happen to think that the Craftivist Collective bundles make the best stocking fillers- check out their mini protest banner kit, and for the less crafty amongst you- try the Craptivist package!
