{VIRTUAL} Monthly Magical Craftivists!

PLEASE READ: VIRTUAL ZOOM CLASSES OPERATE AS LIVE CLASSES ONLY, WE DO NOT RECORD TO PROTECT THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OF OUR TEACHERS. This class is not an in-person class, it is a live, online only offering. Your zoom link will be attached to your ticket. Please also check your junk, spam and promotions folders in your email for your ticket. Email learn@ritualcravt.com with any questions. Classes are in MDT time zone. Class fees are non transferable, we stick to the student agreements agreed upon during registration. Registration closes one hour prior to class beginning.

We are holding a monthly gathering for those who wish to work on their crafts (knitting, crocheting, stitching, jewelry-making, writing, drawing, you name it!) in the shared space of a zoom call. We are seeking self-care, community, and creative expression in a group that will welcome and encourage conversation and connection, though there is no requirement to speak or to even have your screen on if you’d rather be anonymous and just “be” with us!

Let’s face it, our world demands constant productivity often for the sake of others. I often think that we are led to believe “how can we craft at a time like this?” But this is precisely the moment to engage in what makes us feel happy and at peace. We will reclaim the energy and beauty of crafting for the sake of personal fulfillment and relaxation. All skill levels and craft mediums are welcome in these gatherings that will be like book clubs, but for crafts. We will set a theme for each session so you can consider it or even journal on it before attending, and in our meetings, you will have an opportunity to share with others, if you choose, while I will facilitate. Note that these are not lectures or classes but more like free-form meetings in a safe space, with 3 price levels so you can choose what works best for you economically.

October’s Theme:
Origin Tales: think about how you were drawn to the craft you’ll bring to this meeting. How did you discover this passion, and what kind of role has it had in your life thus far? Did getting into this craft connect you to other people, or do you enjoy it because it is a solitary activity alone?
