Craft Action Collective
Craft Action Collective meets together to talk, discuss and make together. We learn new art-making techniques, whilst also thinking about injustice and hope. It’s quiet activism for everyone, including introverts, using the medium of craft to think about big issues.
Craft Action meets 6:30pm – 8pm every 1st & 3rd Tuesday of the month (except August)

Craft Action Collective: Printmaking
Using the UN Rights of the child poster as inspiration, make your own poster based upon what you think will be most important for future generations.
We’ll be learning letterpress & texture printing techniques.
Craft Action Collective is for adults, everyone is welcome.
Craft Action sessions focus on using art and craft activities to think deeply and respond to injustice in a gentle and careful way. We think about stories in the news or issues that are being highlighted through SAW’s exhibitions, and be creative together. It’s quiet activism for everyone, including introverts, using the medium of craft.
The crafts we use and topics we think about are varied. Last year, we thought about: climate change and biodiversity; storytelling as an act of protest; the news and who makes decisions about which stories are headlines; the housing crisis and how to disagree well. Crafts have included: lino printing, zine making, sewing, book making, letterpress printing, and making dyes from plants.
