I'll be facilitating a discussion at this year's Pittsburgh Creative Arts Festival, focused on Yarn and Self-Care each day of the festival!


Here's the official description:


This is an uplifting and positive session that will share widely-accepted practices for stress reduction in the context of yarn/fiber arts. We will explore the benefits of solitary practice, as well as group engagement and discuss research on fiber arts as helpful when dealing with anxiety, depression, chronic pain as well as findings that people who regularly engage in knitting/crocheting experience less loneliness,  isolation and have an improved sense of well-being. Participants will learn tools to incorporate knitting/crochet (etc.) into their self-care routine and to build their own “resilience kit” in yarn or fabric for those times when “life happens".
As part of the presentation, (I) will showcase several projects of (mine) that represent application of the self-care with yarn principles (I am) sharing.  At the end of the session, participants will be able to: 1) explain the overall health benefits of knitting/crocheting, 2) evaluate current self-care practices, and identify their areas of need, 3) share their ideas for creating a resilience project/kit, 4) develop a plan for improving their yarn engagement (solitary PLUS group knitting/crocheting), and 5) advocate for creative self-care in their communities.

I also have a free gift for each attendee. It's a small token reminder to help us remain mindful of the JOY in yarn & fabric!


I look forward to seeing everyone next month!!
